'''Funtoo Linux''' is a [[Source code|source]] based [[Linux distribution]] based on [[Gentoo Linux]], and initiated in 2008 by [[Daniel Robbins (computer programmer)|Daniel Robbins]], former Gentoo Linux project leader.<ref>{{cite web|title=DistroWatch.com: Funtoo Linux|url=http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=Funtoo|accessdate=15 October 2011|date=14 October 2011}}</ref><ref>{{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081025044351/http://blog.funtoo.org/2008/10/goal-of-funtoo.html |date=October 25, 2008 |title=Funtoo by Daniel Robbins: The Goal of Funtoo }}</ref>
== History ==
In early 2008, [[Daniel Robbins (computer programmer)|Daniel Robbins]] proposed to resolve<ref>{{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080113042159/http://blog.funtoo.org/2008/01/here-my-offer.html |date=January 13, 2008 |title=Funtoo by Daniel Robbins: Here's my offer... }}</ref> the Gentoo Foundation problems.<ref>{{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080115061441/http://blog.funtoo.org/2008/01/and-it-gets-worse.html |date=January 15, 2008 |title=Funtoo by Daniel Robbins: And it gets worse... }}</ref> But he had left the project in 2004, and his offer was refused.<ref>{{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080129092658/http://blog.funtoo.org/2008/01/what-to-do.html |date=January 29, 2008 |title=Funtoo by Daniel Robbins: What to do? }}</ref> The Funtoo project was born as an initiative to implement his vision, with aims to share innovations.
==Features==
Funtoo is a [[Source code|source]] based [[Linux]] [[Linux distribution|distribution]]. Its development is discussed on [[IRC]] and a [[mailing list]].<ref>[https://groups.google.com/group/funtoo-dev funtoo-dev mailing list]</ref> Changes are sometimes announced in advance, and published via an [[Atom (standard)|Atom]] feed.
===Core technologies===
Funtoo features in addition to native UTF-8 by default include:
====Git====
Funtoo uses [[git (software)|Git]] to store the [[Portage (software)|Portage]] tree.
====Metro====
Metro<ref>[http://www.funtoo.org/wiki/Metro_Quick_Start_Tutorial Metro Quick Start Tutorial - Funtoo Linux]</ref> is an automatable software package for building stages used in installing Funtoo.
====boot-update====
boot-update<ref>[http://www.funtoo.org/wiki/Boot-Update Boot-Update - Funtoo Linux]</ref> provides a unified mechanism for configuring the [[GNU GRUB]]2 and GRUB Legacy [[boot loader]] versions.
====Core networking====
Funtoo has its own core networking solution to allow users to simplify the creation of complex network interfaces based on pre-created profiles.<ref>http://funtoo.org/en/funtoo/core/networking/</ref>
===Kernel===
Although Funtoo is a source-based distribution, it should be possible to use a prebuilt [[Linux kernel]].<ref>[http://www.funtoo.org/wiki/Funtoo_Linux_Kernels Funtoo Linux Kernels - Funtoo Linux]</ref> Funtoo no longer encourages the use of the [[Sabayon Linux|Sabayon]] kernel; however, with many improvements to Funtoo's design and init process, one should be able to load a binary kernel plus initrd from a preferred distribution hosting a precompiled/preconfigured kernel. Ubuntu's kernel linux-3.2.0-17-generic has been tested and is known to work. This can benefit those who like to avoid building custom kernels. Using a generic kernel from another distribution should be straightforward if using [http://www.funtoo.org/wiki/Boot-Update boot-update].
