===Kernel===
Although Funtoo is a source-based distribution, it isshould be possible to use a prebuilt [[Linux kernel]].<ref>[http://www.funtoo.org/wiki/Funtoo_Linux_Kernels Funtoo Linux Kernels - Funtoo Linux]</ref> WithFuntoo no longer encourages the use of the [[Sabayon Linux|Sabayon]] kernel; however, with many improvements to Funtoo's design and init process, one canshould be able to load a binary kernel plus initrd from a preferred distribution hosting a precompiled/preconfigured kernel. DebianUbuntu's kernel <ref>[http://wwwlinux-3.funtoo2.org/Package:Debian0-sources Debian17-sources]</ref>generic has been tested and is known to work. It is roughly equal to a kernel shipped by [[Debian Linux]] <ref>[https://www.debian.org/ Debian]</ref> in their releases. This can benefit those who like to avoid building custom kernels. We also support RHEL6-OpenVZ and OpenVZ kernels. Using a generic kernel from another distribution worksshould be straightforward if using [http://www.funtoo.org/wiki/Boot-Update boot-update].
