Hi all, Funtoo is most famous for a permanent ban on systemd.
Funtoo is very different from Debian, Ubuntu, OpenSuSE, OpenBSD and FreeBSD. Unlike those, with you're intimately involved with every step of installation and configuration. Plus, all installs are compiled, it takes a long time. You would never put this on an old, slow laptop. Funtoo takes a very different set of skills than those I mentioned earlier. You need to be conversant with the various per-package compile options, and how to implement them. When you're doing this stuff, order matters. I have a feeling that because I used flavor "core" instead of "desktop", my installation of X fails to run, and if that's true, I need to back out my X and reinstall. Funtoo is a much bigger user committment than distros that ask a few questions and then install. It wouldn't be newbie friendly, but then again, I have a feeling very few systemd refugees would be newbies. I'm going to continue working with Funtoo, and also trying PC-BSD in the next several days. I'll let you know.
