The project aims to create a +better Linux Kernel maintenance experience by providing ebuilds that can be used to [configure, compile, and +install a kernel entirely through the package manager](https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:AMD64/Installation/Kernel#Alternative:_Using_distribution_kernels) +as well as prebuilt binary kernels. We are currently shipping three kernel packages: * [sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel](https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel) - providing a kernel with [genpatches](https://dev.gentoo.org/~mpagano/genpatches/) applied, built using the package manager using either distribution default or custom configuration -* [sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel-bin](https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel-bin) - prebuilt version of gentoo-kernel that can be used to save time on compiling +* [sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel-bin](https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel-bin) - prebuilt version of gentoo-kernel, saving time on compiling * [sys-kernel/vanilla-kernel](https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/sys-kernel/vanilla-kernel) - providing a vanilla (unmodified) upstream kernel -All the packages install the kernel as part of the package installation process — just like the rest of your system! This means that you can update your entire system consistently with one command, rather than having to build the kernel separately. - -More information can be found in the [Gentoo Handbook](https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:AMD64/Installation/Kernel#Alternative:_Using_distribution_kernels) and on the [Distribution Kernel project page](https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Distribution_Kernel). - -Happy hacking! +All the packages install the kernel as part of the package installation process — just like the rest of your system! +More information can be found in the [Gentoo Handbook](https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:AMD64/Installation/Kernel#Alternative:_Using_distribution_kernels) +and on the [Distribution Kernel project page](https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Distribution_Kernel).
