schentuu, silly name!?

It's pronounced: schen·tuu /[ˈʃən tuː]/ [1]

Some years ago, I was amused how some germans with poor english sounded, when they tried to say the name of my favorite Linux distribution. This inspired me to form a nickname from an intentionally exaggerated german pronunciation of the english word 'gentoo'.

First it was just a joke, when I had to register at an very unimportant forum. But later I started likeing it. So it became my common nickname.

Happily married with a nerdfriendly wife, she's using linux mint + windows7

funtoo related

why funtoo?

I decided to use funtoo because of three facts.

1. because the stable tree seems to be less "experimental" than gentoo itself.
   With gentoo i broke my system during updates and it took me hours, in a few cases even days, to fix that.
2. because the community idea of funtoo.
   As of today (2014-07-14) i think i'd need some more time to get into funtoo. But in near future i would love to help bringing the project forward.
3. because git is awesome!
