What is Funtoo Linux?
Funtoo Linux is a Linux-based operating system that is a variant of 
Gentoo.
The main differences to Gentoo would be:
- no systemd support, but still allowing one to run, for example full desktop environment such as Gnome 3.20
- portage tree split into kits that allow more fine grained control for package updates, and packages can be now tied together inside the kit to minimise dependency breakage while upgrading.
- use flags that are suitable for a task or environment are grouped into Profiles, allowing to select for example gnome profile with most of the sane use flags enabled inside profile.
- stage3 archive coming with compiled kernel based on Debian's kernel.
- simpler template based network configuration.
Comments and Reviews
Funtoo is quite slow in updating even the most important packages. Not good for my usage. Might be good for you...
