Necrobump but at least it's less than a year old :)
So far my 3 or 4 day venture into Funtoo has been very easy and I am very impressed. I used Gentoo back in the early/mid 2000's and it really appealed to my need to tinker. Bounced around and used many, many different distros, even spent about 6 months with FreeBSD. Came back to Linux and wanted a system free of (insert unmentionable init system here) so found Funtoo. Surprised to learn Mr. Robbins was the author and since I loved Gentoo so much, decided to give the distro a whirl. Much easier install and everything has worked well. Thanks Funtoo team, much appreciated!

Hello everyone, first post, first time using Funtoo, although I used Gentoo for several years back in the early/mid 2000's. Here is my daily use rig:
HP z800 workstation
2 x 6core Xeons X5650 @ 2.67GHz
96gb ram
3 SSDs (1.2tb total)
2 spinning drives (3tb total)
Nvidia GTX560
1100 watt power supply
Since I can't afford a Dodge Hellcat Challenger, this has to suffice :)
Been using Linux for nearly 20 years as my main desktop. I have made a conscious decision to never depend on Microsoft (or Apple) products for anything (except gaming) so have happily been using Linux for everything. The rig above is my main desktop. I use it for writing, graphic editing, surfing, bills, taxes, email, everything one uses a desktop for.
