Funtoo Linux is a source based distribution originally based on Gentoo linux. It was founded by Daniel Robbins the original founder of Gentoo linux in 2008 so that he could work on Gentoo technology. It has expanded since to hundreds of users and a half dozen core devs.

QA

Funtoo's development process is slower than the upstream Gentoo linux project. Changes are announced in advance, and as they occur via an ATOM feed. This allows for easy tracking of issues, and new core packages.

Core technlogies

Funtoo has several critical changes, or major software packages which are unique to it.

Metro

Metro[1] is an automatable software package for building stages used in installing Funtoo.

boot-update

boot-update [2] provides a unified mechanism for configuring the GRUB 1.9x (sys-boot/grub) and GRUB 0.97 (sys-boot/grub-legacy) boot loaders.

Core Networking

Funtoo has an added simplified core networking solution to allow users to easily create complex network interfaces based on pre-created profiles.[3]
