Put simply, Pentoo is Gentoo with the Pentoo overlay. This overlay is available in layman so all you have to do is layman -L and layman -a pentoo. We have a pentoo/pentoo meta ebuild and multiple pentoo profiles, which will install all the pentoo tools based on USE flags.
It’s also still active and has a 2015 just released! It’s great to see such a dedicated team working on something for so many years.
