Download Funtoo Linux
Funtoo Linux can be downloaded at the following locations:
- Main US mirror: The Oregon State University Open Source Lab
- Main EU mirror: HEAnet
First... pick the build
To navigate the mirrors above, you'll first need to pick a build of Funtoo Linux to install.
We offer: funtoo-current, which is the recommended build of Funtoo Linux. It is based on Gentoo Linux "unstable" (aka "~amd64/~x86"). funtoo-stable is based on Gentoo Linux stable. And funtoo-experimental is based on Gentoo Linux "unstable" and contains our experimental development changes. funtoo-experimental is for developers and testers only.
If you don't know which one to choose, pick funtoo-current.
Picked one? Great! Open a mirror in a new window, and select the appropriate build directory from the list.
Next... pick an arch
Next, it's time to pick an architecture. We support:
- x86-64bit - If you have a modern 64-bit PC-compatible desktop or server, you generally want x86-64bit.
- x86-32bit - If you have an older 32-bit PC-compatible desktop or server, you'll want to use x86-32bit. Also an option for 64-bit x86 systems.
- openvz - If you want to install an OpenVZ container of Funtoo Linux, look in here, then pick the correct architecture within.
- vagrant - If you're looking for a VagrantUP Vagrant run image of Funtoo Linux, look in here.
- sparc-64bit - If you are installing Funtoo Linux on a Sparc64 system, look in here.
Now... select a sub-arch
Now, you'll need to pick a sub-architecture of Funtoo Linux that suits your needs. A sub-architecture is a build of Funtoo Linux that is optimized for your particular CPU.
If you are building a Linux-based appliance or grabbing an image for mass-deployment, you might want to choose a generic sub-architecture that will be compatible with a wide range of processors. Otherwise, choose the most optimized sub-architecture that your processor supports.
Note that we offer the greatest number of choices for funtoo-current. Other builds will have a more limited number of sub-arches available.
