=== The Hacker Spirit and the Free Software Philosophy ===

Funtoo can be defined as a especial-focused distribution, with a [[The Cathedral and the Bazaar|bazaar-style development model]], where each hacker can make a difference. Hackers can have fun too due to the [[free software]] nature of the project.<ref>[http://www.funtoo.org/en/funtoo/about/ Funtoo project goals].</ref>{{Citation needed|date=December 2010}}
