Funtoo,由 Gentoo 创始人 Daniel Robbins 亲手定制,是 Gentoo 的变种。它提供了以下不同于 Gentoo 的特点和优势:

  1. 本地的 UTF – 8 编码支持;
  2. 以 Git 为基础的 Portage tree 与 Funtoo Overlay;
  3. 使用更加紧凑的 mini-manifest 增强 Portage;
  4. 每十二个小时自动获取 Gentoo 的新变化;
  5. GPT/GUID boot 支持,与改进的 boot 配置 ( Funtoo boot-update 和 boot.conf );
  6. 增强型网络配置 ( core-network );
  7. 使用 Funtoo 的 Metro 构建工具构造最新的稳定与不稳定的 Stages,支持多种处器型号:x86, i686, amd64, athlon-xp, pentium4, core2 ,core232, opteron,opteron32。

下面是具体的安装步骤

发现,Funtoo 相比于 Gentoo 最大的区别就是简化了安装步骤,Portage 改为 Git 管理且包含了 Sunrise Overlay,以及 Grub、net 设置变简单了。如果是第一次安装,则推荐 Funtoo;如果已经用上最新 Portage 的 Gentoo,则完全没有必要切换到 Fentoo。
