Difference between Gentoo and Funtoo

Oh you will notice the differences...

• a git pull is way faster than the rsync one :)
• the automated kernel build is a real nice feature, you will see
• ebuilds that are maintained by CoreTeam have a cleaner structure, not so much usage of external modules but inline the ebuild so a build gets clean...
• GPT/GUID support is also very nice, cleaner structure of your HDD
• Daily work is like with gentoo
• git based User Overlay is launched, so users can participate in funtoo too, and ebuilds will be directly included into main tree after approval

So you should try it. Also funtoo is doing great work on QA for packages that concern the Core, funtoo tries to build a rock solid, bleeding edge Core System. :)

In day-to-day usage, funtoo feels just as gentoo. The main noticeable difference is in syncing (via git in funtoo) and the contents of default overlays, which for funtoo include perl-experimental from what I remember.

From what I an see, reading the Funtoo documentation, another USP here will perhaps be the simplified kernel build in the install.

# echo "sys-kernel/sysrescue-std-sources binary" >> /etc/portage/package.use
# emerge sysrescue-std-sources
