Gentoo Linux 2008 VMware image x86_64

Thursday, August 7th, 2008

I just made this image as a base for myself, but I want to share them as well. Fell free to download them, and use them as you want. By downloading, you agree that the use is at your own risk, and I am not responsible for any mistakes and damages.

 The kernel is 64-bit Linux 2.6.24 Gentoo patch 8 with SMP enabled. The image has been made on VmWare Fusion 2.0 beta2, and contains its VmWare Tools. Almost nothing has been installed - just the basic stuff like sshd, mc, so the rest is up to you.

Memory allocated: 532MB
CPUs used: 2
Virtual machine files size: 4.21GB
Disk: 10GB mounted as / 
Compressed size: 765MB in 5 files

So now the important stuff - how to get into:

user: root
password: password

The files are split up to 5 parts, and you can download them from rapidshare:

part 1 (190 MB)
part 2 (190 MB)
part 3 (190 MB)
part 4 (190 MB)
part 5 (2.5 MB)

You can decompress files using RAR which can be downloaded at www.rarlabs.com. Decompress command would be (in the directory of the download, extracts files into separate directory):

unrar x gentoo-2008-x86_64.part01.rar
