Gentoo 2007.0

Gentoo v2007.0 Virtual Machine

If you are here, you probably know a bit about Gentoo Linux already, if not Gentoo.org is a good place to start and Gentoo arguably has the best product documentation wiki ever, so it makes sense to look it up, if you run into something.

Now about the VM itself.

MD5SUM 450282ac4ffbebc6a7359718d4ab2a9a *Gentoo.2007.0.rar

This VM is minimal base install. It has the shell and the basic networking installed. Everything else can be custom installed and configured using emerge.

Until then, hope ya have fun with this version.

    I have been looking for one of these for a couple days now. Was dreading the install..haha.

    If you still need hosts let me know. I can host one or two of them maybe.

    My VMware Player 5.0.1 gets stuck at the very beginning. There’s just a black screen.

    And there’s no info here which VM machine you’ve used to create this.

    Finaly, it WAS loaded!

    though, now i agree with Andy – those user/password are wrong.

    Well, I got it. That’s because the only download currently available is not this one.

    The download link is dead….

    I was looking for a Gentoo virtual machine yesterday. It weired, but I was unable to google anything with not too-outdated kernel.
    So, I had to make one myself. I took me half-a-day. That’s why,I think I should share my results.

    If anyone is looking for a Gentoo VM, like i was, take a quick look at the following link, maybe it suits you:
