Linux Gentoo Download
Gentoo's download page offers a 'Mimimal' installation CD and a 'Hybrid ISO' which contains a graphical Live Linux environment which was last updated in 2016. Gentoo does not have any easy to use graphical installer. Gentoo can be installed in many different ways. It can be downloaded and installed from official Gentoo installation media such as our CDs and DVDs. The installation media can be installed on a USB stick or accessed via a netbooted environment. Step 1: Download Gentoo DVD Image and Prepare Network Configurations. Before proceeding with installation go to Gentoo Download page and grab the last released LiveDVD image. After you burn the ISO image place the DVD in your system DVD drive, reboot your computer, select your bootable DVD and Gentoo prompt LiveDVD should appear on your.
With 2019 almost over, we turn our sights to a new decade with 2020. Soon we will celebrate the new year by partying, eating good food, and watching the Times Square Ball drop on TV. Sadly, Dick Clark is dead, but his legacy lives on through Ryan Seacrest.
But what if you want to celebrate 2020 in a more... nerdier way? Well, I have some good news. Calculate Linux 20 is now available for download! Yes, the Gentoo-based operating system is ready to be installed on your computer. Since it is version 20, that makes it perfect for ringing in 2020.
Calculate Linux 20 is based on Gentoo 17.1 and comes with several desktop environment choices, such as Cinnamon, KDE, Xfce, MATE, and more. Unfortunately for some users, the operating system is now 64-bit only. Yes, with version 20, the developers have chosen to kill the 32-bit variants. While some people will be upset, it is definitely the correct choice -- 32-bit only processors are very old at this point. You can likely get a better 64-bit machine for a steal at a thrift store these days.
The Calculate Linux developers share the following changes.
- We moved to profile Gentoo 17.1.
- All binary packages were recompiled with GCC 9.2.
- Calculate Linux will no longer come in 32 bits.
- eselect replaced layman as the overlay manager and the enabled overlays moved to /var/db/repos.
- A local overlay was added, located at /var/calculate/custom-overlay.
- You can run ‘emerge --config’ to launch the new cl-config tool for service configuration.
- ‘modesetting’ video driver supported.
- CPU-X was replaced by the graphical HardInfo utility for better hardware browsing.
- mplayer was replaced by mpv.
- cronie replaced vixie-cron for cron job scheduling.
- Fixed single disk autodetection for installation.
- Fixed the bug with several applications playing ALSA audio at the same time.
- Fixed default audio device configuration.
- The Xfce desktop was updated to v4.14, as well the icon theme.
- Plymouth-driven bootloader screen.
- Fixed name reservation for network devices by excluding devices with local MAC addresses.
- In cl-kernel, fixed the bug when switching between desktop and server kernel configuration.
- Fixed Web browser icon on the bottom panel disappearing at update time.
- CLDXE, the educational CL flavour was renamed to CLDXS.
- More precise disk space calculation for installation.
- Fixed container shutdown.
- Fixed disk partitioning for logical sectors over 512 bytes of size.
- Fixed single disk selection as the autopartition default.
- emerge-like usage of the ‘–with-bdeps’ option of the update tool.
- You can put yes/no in tool parameters, if you prefer them to on/off.
- Fixed current video driver detection via Xorg.0.log.
- Fixed system cleanup bug: the current kernel settings are reserved.
- Fixed the bugged system image compilation for images with UEFI.
- Fixed IP detection for bridge devices.
- Fixed GUI login (lightdm used if applies).
- No more freezing at start time, that was due to interactive operation of OpenRC.
- The IRC client has also Spanish and Portuguese preconfiguration.
- Added the Norwegian locale (nb_NO).

Gentoo is a free operating system based on either Linux or FreeBSD that can be automatically optimized and customized for just about any application or need. Extreme configurability, performance and a top-notch user and developer community are all hallmarks of the Gentoo experience.
Unlike other distros, Gentoo Linux has an advanced package management system called Portage. Portage is a true ports system in the tradition of BSD ports, but is Python-based and sports a number of advanced features including dependencies, fine-grained package management, 'fake' (OpenBSD-style) installs, safe unmerging, system profiles, virtual packages, config file management, and more.

But lacks a good system menu management system like the one found in Debian. It also needs more Documentation focused in their own distro. And it lacks a central configuration application.

It took about 2 days to have everything compiled on my 2cpu P3 866Mhz, but it's well worth it ! I just love it !
I noticed some of the comments were a bit old so I thought I would comment on the newest release for 2005, which rocks! If you are not familiar with Linux or how computers work in general the installation may seem a bit daunting at first, but the documentation is fabulous and very thorough. If you follow it you will have no problem. I think they are working on a graphical installer as well. (yes, the current installation is text based). Once you have the base CD installed the rest is simple. With Gentoo's powerful (did I mention it's very powerful?) management system, Portage, the installation and management of your system software is easy and highly customizable. You are in controll of practically every aspect of how your system is configured and runs. I switched from RH Fedora and have been using Gentoo for a few months now and I love it. Give it a try and you will too. AMD64 2800+ CPU 512MB DDR RAM 80GB Western Digital Serial ATA Hard Drive 450 Watt PS
