|question=How did Funtoo Linux Begin?<br />
|answer=Funtoo Linux was created by Daniel Robbins, the creator and former Chief Architect of Gentoo Linux, in late 2007, as a means to get Gentoo to build reliably (see [[Funtoo Linux History]] for an accurate timeline.) This led to the adoption of [[Metro]], an automated build tool also developed by Daniel, to replace Gentoo's catalyst build tool for building Funtoo stages.<br />
<br />
Some changes to Gentoo's Portage tree were needed to produce reliable stage3 builds of Gentoo, creating the need for Daniel to create a slight variant of Gentoo's Portage tree to support automated builds. This in turn created the need to maintain a forked Portage tree that also integrated recent upstream Gentoo changes. Daniel adopted git and worked with Zac Medico to integrate support for git-based Portage trees and mini-manifests into Gentoo's emerge command at a time when adoption of git by Gentoo had stalled.<br />
<br />
Over time, Funtoo Linux has continued to mature, supporting novel offerings such as {{c|debian-sources}} and {{c|debian-sources-lts}} kernels, [[Funtoo Profiles|multiple system profiles]], a wide selection of stages [[Download|optimized for modern CPUs]], support for systemd-less [[GNOME First Steps|GNOME]], and our new kits system.<br />
