+# froth.zone portage
+Here lies the "official" froth.zone portage overlay.
+
+Basically all that is here is some stuff I use regularly.
+
+To add this simply add the following line as `root`:
+```sh
+eselect repository add froth-zone git https://git.froth.zone/packaging/portage.git
+```
+
+I make 0 guarantees that any of this has or will ever work.
+
+## PROCEED WITH CAUTION
