Gentoo AMD64 Handbook

The Gentoo Handbook is an effort to centralize documentation into a coherent handbook. This handbook contains the installation instructions for an Internet-based installation and some additional sections for working with Gentoo’s native software tools such as the OpenRC init system and the Portage package manager.

Installing Gentoo

About the Gentoo Linux installation This chapter introduces the installation approach documented in this handbook. Choosing the right installation medium It is possible to install Gentoo in many ways. This chapter explains how to install Gentoo using the minimal Installation CD. Configuring the network To be able to download the latest source code, networking will need to be configured. Preparing the disks Before Gentoo can be installed, the necessary partitions must be created. This chapter describes how to partition a disk. Installing the Gentoo installation files The basic Gentoo system is downloaded as a stage3 archive. This chapter explains how to download and extract the archive, and also how to configure Portage, Gentoo’s package management program. Installing the Gentoo base system After installing and configuring the stage3, the base system is set up so that a minimal environment is available. Configuring the Linux kernel The Linux kernel is the core of every distribution. This chapter explains how to configure the kernel. Configuring the system Some important configuration files must be created. This chapter provides an overview of these files and explains how to tailor the configuration. Installing system tools In this chapter some important tools are selected and installed. Configuring the bootloader In this chapter the right bootloader is installed and configured. Finalizing the installation The installation is now almost done. The last finishing touches are documented in this chapter.

Working with Gentoo

A Portage introduction This chapter explains simple steps readers must understand to maintain the software on their system. USE flags USE flags are a very important aspect of Gentoo. In this chapter, readers learn to work with USE flags and understand how USE flags interact with their system. Portage features Discover the features Portage has, such as support for distributed compiling, ccache, and more. Init script system Gentoo uses a special initscript format which, among other features, allows dependency-driven decisions and virtual initscripts. This chapter explains all these aspects and explains how to deal with these scripts. Environment variables Environment variables can be easily managed with Gentoo. This chapter explains how to do that, and also describes frequently used variables.

Working with Portage

Files and directories To know Portage in-depth, first learn where it stores its files and data. Variables Portage is completely configurable, with several options that can be set in a configuration file, or as environment variables. Mixing software branches Gentoo provides software separated in several branches, depending on stability and architectural support. «Mixing Software Branches» explains how these branches can be configured and how to override this separation individually. Additional tools Portage comes with a few extra tools that might make the Gentoo experience even better. Read on to discover how to use dispatch-conf and other tools. Custom package repository This chapter gives some tips and tricks on how to use a custom package repository, how to synchronize only the required categories, how to inject packages, and more. Advanced features As time passes, Portage evolves and matures. New features are continually being added. Many of these are useful only to the more experienced user. This chapter explains some of Portage’s newer features.

Gentoo network configuration

Getting started A guide to quickly get the network interface up and running in most common environments. Advanced configuration Here we learn about how the configuration works — this is prerequisite knowledge before continuing with modular networking. Modular networking Learn how to choose different DHCP clients, setting up bonding, bridging, VLANs, and more. Wireless Configuring Gentoo for wireless networks Adding functionality Adventurous users can add their own functions to the networking tools. Dynamic management For laptop users or people who move their computer around different networks.

Welcome to Gentoo, a highly flexible, source-based Linux distribution.

Gentoo accepted into Google Summer of Code 2023 (Feb 22, 2023)

Do you want to learn more about Gentoo and contribute to your favourite free software project?! Once again, now for the 11th time, we have been accepted as a mentoring organization for this year’s Google Summer of Code!

The GSoC is an excellent opportunity for gaining real-world experience in software design and making oneself known in the broader open source community. It also looks great on a resume. Some initial project ideas can be found here, but new projects ideas are also welcome. For new projects time is of the essence: they have to be worked out, discussed with the mentors, and submitted before the April 4th deadline. It is strongly recommended that contributors refine new project ideas with a mentor before proposing the idea formally.

Potential GSoC contributors are encouraged to e-mail the GSoC admins with their name, IRC nickname, and the desired project, and discuss ideas in the #gentoo-soc IRC channel on Libera Chat. Further information can be found on the Gentoo GSoC 2023 wiki page. Those with unanswered questions should also not hesitate to contact the Summer of Code mentors via their mailing list.

2022 in retrospect & late happy new year 2023! (Feb 9, 2023)

A quite late Happy New Year 2023 to all of you!

Once again with 2022 an eventful year has passed, and Gentoo is still alive and kicking! 2023 already started some time ago and some of us have even already been meeting up and networking at FOSDEM 2023. Still, we are happy to present once more a review of the Gentoo news of the past year 2022. Read on for new developers, distribution wide initiatives and improvements, up-to-date numbers on Gentoo development, tales from the infrastructure, and all the fresh new packages you can emerge now.
