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

Core technlogies

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