I'm struggling to understand how Funtoo is different from Gentoo, The Funtoo website claims to be an improved version of Gentoo saying this:Funtoo Linux features native UTF-8  support enabled by default, a  git-based, distributed Portage Tree  and funtoo overlay, an enhanced  Portage with more compact  mini-manifest tree, automated imports  of new Gentoo changes every 12 hours,  GPT/GUID boot support and streamlined  boot configuration, enhanced network  configuration, up-to-date stable and  current Funtoo stages, all built using  Funtoo's Metro build tool.That doesn't seem so different to me.  Are those advantages worth a different distro and are there any downsides?
Difference between Gentoo and Funtoo
distribution choice;gentoo
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-sourcesFrom http://www.funtoo.org/wiki/Funtoo_Linux_Installation#Configuring_and_installing_the_Linux_kernel
