 I created my own Portage tree for a multitude of reasons. The main reason for creating the tree was so I could get improvements into my Portage tree immediately, changes which Gentoo developers may or may not be interested in adding to the official Gentoo tree. I don't want to wait around or try to convince someone to add a fix I need.

 From an installation perspective, the main difference between Funtoo Linux and Gentoo Linux is that Funtoo Linux has a different Portage tree. We store our Portage tree in a git repository. Our Portage tree does track the Gentoo repository (we import Gentoo changes almost every day,) but our tree does contain some significant changes from Gentoo's tree.
-For the purpose of users Funtoo Linux decided to run a three modeled tree, the stable, the current and the experimental tree. Experimental tree is designed for Core Team in general to work on new features and is a seperated tree not available by keywords, for stable Funtoo uses the "*" arch-keyword and for current the "~*" arch-keyword. Most of the time current and experimental do not differ, but in cases of new features or toolchain updates both differ as some testings might break your system, so we like to keep this away from users while we test.

 Funtoo Linux follows a continuous development cycle. This means that new packages are continuously added to the [[Portage Tree]] and others are periodically improved with patches and bug fixes.
