Hi,
Gentoo Linux is a versatile and fast, completely free Linux distribution geared
towards developers and network professionals. Unlike other distros, Gentoo Linux
has an advanced package management system called "Portage". Portage is a true
ports system in the tradition of BSD ports, but is Python-based and sports a
number of advanced features including dependencies, fine-grained package
management, "fake" (OpenBSD-style) installs, safe unmerging, system profiles,
virtual packages, config file management, and more.

But if you are new to Linux I recommend that you try out any of the follwing
first:
1. Xandros (fetch the last month's LFY magazine and you get it free)
2. Mandrake 10.0 (even 9.0 is cool)
3. ELX (A great Indian distro, also came with LFY couple of months back)

Good luck with your linux venture
-Tarun
