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 a build
To navigate the mirrors above, you'll first need to pick a build of Funtoo Linux to install. Builds are like different versions of Funtoo Linux. Our funtoo-current build is the most up-to-date and recommended build. We also offer funtoo-stable. Both current and stable share the use the same Portage tree (package repository), but newer packages are unmasked (made available for install) in funtoo-current.
There is also a funtoo-experimental, which contains our experimental development work. As you might guess, funtoo-experimental is for developers and testers only, and it has its own experimental Portage tree that is separate from the others.
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.
funtoo-current ->
Next... pick an arch
Next, it's time to pick an architecture. If you have a modern 64-bit PC-compatible desktop or server, you generally want x86-64bit. 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.
If you want to install an OpenVZ container of Funtoo Linux, select openvz, then pick the correct architecture within. Likewise, if you're looking for a VagrantUP Vagrant run image of Funtoo Linux, look in here.
If you are installing Funtoo Linux on a Sparc64 system, choose sparc-64bit.

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.
