Ben,
thanks for the offer! I've uploaded the bzip2 compressed image to dropbox at
https://www.dropbox.com/s/n9owm2z4dpslm83/gentoo-armv7-8g-sshd.img.bz2?dl=0

Hi,

If lots of people want this image I would be happy to host it on my
server. It could then be linked to from the main Raspberry VI site.

Cheers,
Ben.

I don't know of any place to start with gentoo except through the gentoo
homepage, wikki, and I have always made extensive use of their handbook
All are available from gentoo.org

Unfortunately the handbook is lacking an arm version but you can still
learn
how the distro works and lots of useful info from thhe available
documentation

I haven't worked with gentoo, but I like a challenge so I'd be
interested
in
such an image. The pi has really opened me up to a lot of Linux learning
which, I suppose, was its purpose: to help kids (and the rest of us)
learn.
It might be helpful if you pointed those of us not familiar with gentoo
to
some beginner resources. My pi blog is languishing and writing about a
new
learning experience would perk things right up again.

Hi all,

ok i will try to clear things a bit: this image i created is only
useful for people who explicitly want to work with Gentoo on their pi.
This assumes you allready know about Gentoo and what to do with a
freshly installed stage3 + portage + kernel etc..

Just wanted to offer this image because there are a fiew things to do
after the first boot that require sighted assistens (or much hacking).
And well, i guess most of us don't have sighted assistens all the
time...

So this is not an advantage over the existing images! It is just a
very special alternative assuming good knowledge about Gentoo.

Have a nice day!

Hi Jann.

Can you describe some advantages of gentoo over the current raspbian
or
archlinux that people use now?

Hi all,

well i just got started with the pi and all this stuff.. but well, i
like my Gentoo and didn't want to use a preconfigured raspian or
something like that. Pls don't get me wrong: big thanks for providing
such images! But just to experiment with the pi i wanted to do things
from scratch.

I've recently created a Gentoo based image which startsup the
networking at boot and also launches the sshd. I just wanted to let
you all know just in case anyone wants to try a Gentoo and maybe has
no chance to get sighted help to do the post-install / after boot
configuration ...

If you'd like to get more information or the image feel free to
contact
me.
NOTE: it's created from a 8 GB sd card with the official raspberry
firmware etc.

Have a nice Day!
Jann
