===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. UbuntuDebian's kernel linux-3<ref>[http://www.2funtoo.0org/Package:Debian-17sources Debian-genericsources]</ref> has been tested and is known to work. It is roughly equal to a kernel shipped by Debian Linux in their releases. 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].
