Funtoo arises from Daniel Robbins's experience with Gentoo and prior to that Stampede.

Funtoo Linux History

From Inception to Gentoo 1.0+

  • July 1997 - Started a new position at University of New Mexico, was using Debian 1.3
  • Nov 1998 - Was using/developing for Stampede Linux at home, but had not (yet) started Enoch?
  • Apr 1999 - Was working on Enoch - wrote xpak .tbz2 code that is still in Portage
  • May 18-27, 1999 - First version of Enoch released, according to LWN.net. My blurb for Enoch: "Enoch is an advanced GNU/Linux distribution for the x86 PC Architecture, designed to bring your Linux experience into a new dimension. Or something like that." [1]
  • Aug 1999 - My new dual Celeron mobo would not run Linux, went to FreeBSD, Achim Gottinger kept Enoch going
  • Late 1999 - Must have came back to Enoch and done the Gentoo name change right about now - the "Gentoo" name was Bob Mutch's idea - started incorporating some FreeBSD ideas into Enoch - Portage (as we know it today) was born.
  • July 26, 2000 - Gentoo 1.0 release "imminent", cvs online, rsync "coming soon"
  • Nov 3, 2000 - Gentoo 1.0 Release Candidate 2
  • Dec 11, 2000 - Gentoo 1.0 Release Candidate 3
  • Aug 14, 2001 - New Gentoo Logo/Web site debut - designed by me! Still in use today! :)
  • Feb 16-17, 2002 - Was in Brussels, Belgium to attend FOSDEM
  • Mar 31, 2002 - Gentoo Linux 1.0 Released !!![2]
  • May 10, 2002 - Gentoo Listed as one of the top 10 Linux distributions on DistroWatch
  • Apr 8, 2002 - Gentoo Linux 1.1a released :)
  • Jun 10, 2002 - Gentoo Linux 1.2 released :)[3]
