User:Pnoecker/philosophy of slackware

funtoo can be used as a base operating system that functions as a slackware underlayer. slackware publishes an operating system that has a robust gcc compilation system that uses manual dependency resolution and manual compilation of dependencies. funtoo can fill in dependencies through portage and load hand compiled binaries. first we must adjust the $PATH. we need to load /usr/local/bin & /usr/local/sbin before the standard $PATH variables like /bin & /sbin & /usr/bin & /usr/sbin & finally loading /opt/bin & /opt/sbin path binaries.
