gentoo (written with a lowercase g) is a free file manager for Linux and other Unix-like computer systems created by Emil Brink. It is licensed under the GNU General Public License.

gentoo is written in C using the GTK+ toolkit [1] and the "two-pane" concept. Notable features of gentoo include its graphical configurability, file typing and styling system. gentoo's file typing system identifies the file type and then uses the respective style defined to determine its display in listings. It is reminiscent of Total Commander or Norton Commander,.[1] The author mentions that "gentoo tries to capture the features, the look and feel of the legendary file manager from Amiga platform: Directory Opus." [citation needed]

The package includes approximately 100 handcrafted icons for different file types. Additionally, many users like it for its speed, as it is relatively lightweight (see below). [citation needed]

## Name

The word gentoo refers to a fast breed of penguin, the gentoo penguin. In spite of the name, it has nothing to do with the Gentoo Linux distribution, and did in fact adopt the name first.
