Technology should be fun, powerful and free. Funtoo is a community of people who are dedicated to creating a supportive environment for learning about and using free software, led by Daniel Robbins. Funtoo projects are listed below.

Funtoo Linux (distrowatch) is a Linux-based operating system that is a variant of Gentoo Linux. Funtoo Linux is a meta-distribution that builds packages automatically from source code. Installation images are optimized for the best possible performance on the latest Intel and AMD hardware. See what we support. Install / Download / Metro

Funtoo Compute Initiative is an active Funtoo and OpenVZ container-based compute infrastructure that our community members use and which hosts Funtoo projects. It is a DIY-style initiative with full documentation, designed to allow you to deploy extremely powerful compute infrastructures at very low cost, using new or used server hardware. You can use our compute resources or roll your own. Our current hardware build is a 1U system that offers 1TB of SSD storage, 12 cores (24 threads) at 2.66GHz (Intel Westmere), 48GB of RAM and costs approximately $1050 to build. Funtoo Containers on our own infrastructure are available from $15/mo.

Learn Linux! Awk, Bash, Sed and more. The Funtoo community encourages learning. Many tutorial-style articles are available, many of which were originally featured on the IBM developerWorks site. Full Article List

Keychain helps you to manage SSH and GPG keys in a convenient and secure manner. It acts as a front-end to ssh-agent and ssh-add, but allows you to easily have one long running ssh-agent process per system, rather than the norm of one ssh-agent per login session.

-=== Distinctives ===
-Funtoo Linux is led by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Robbins_(computer_programmer) Daniel Robbins], the creator and former Chief Architect of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gentoo_Linux Gentoo Linux], who serves as benevolent dictator for life (BDFL) of the project. Our organizational structure consists of BDFL and a small number of support staff, as well as members of our user community who are involved in improving Funtoo Linux. Developement efforts are driven by the BDFL as well as our users, and efforts are under way to implement various mechanisms to allow supporters of Funtoo Linux to chart the future direction of the project.
-Funtoo Linux packages are installed from source code, automatically, thanks to the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portage_(software) Portage ports system.] Funtoo Linux has its own distinct ports tree (repository of packages), which is based on Gentoo's. Every several hours, the Funtoo Linux Portage tree is updated using an automated merge process, to include the latest changes from Gentoo Linux, Funtoo Linux developers and contributors, as well as other independent developers.
-We use [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git_(software) Git] for all our development, and we also use Git to deliver our Portage tree to you.
-=== Getting Started ===
-We encourage you to [[Funtoo Linux Installation|install Funtoo Linux]], and get involved in our user community. Get to know fellow Funtoo Linux users on our [http://forums.funtoo.org forums]. If you have any improvements or find any bugs in Funtoo Linux, you are strongly encouraged to report them on our [http://bugs.funtoo.org bug tracker]. This isn't just a formality -- we take all bugs seriously, and all work performed on Funtoo Linux is tracked on our bug tracker, for purposes of transparency (and to help everyone, including BDFL, from having to remember too much!)
-Funtoo Linux has a very active [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IRC IRC] community on Freenode, in the <code>#funtoo</code>, and you are encouraged to hang out online with our community.

-==== How Do I Get An Account For Wiki/Bugs? ====
-Funtoo is currently beta-testing a new centralized login infrastructure. You can create a new account by heading to our [http://auth.funtoo.org:9093/new beta funtoo account creation page]. A new account will work on the wiki, bug tracker and forums. See [[Funtoo Authentication FAQ]] for more information.
-=== Funtoo Containers ===
-'''Funtoo currently offers discount Funtoo Linux virtual server containers to supporters:'''
