Even though the distro itself is great I always thought that the name
"Gentoo" was sort of strange.

Where does that odd sounding name come from?

Well, there happens to be a species of penguin called the "gentoo"
penguin that is the fastest swimmer of all the penguins:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gentoo_penguin

Thus, the name "Gentoo" is quite apt for a distro that is undeniably
the fastest of all GNU/Linux distros.

Why do an injustice to your expensive computer hardware by saddling
it with a sluggish generic distro?  Get Gentoo and live life to the
fullest.
