There is no specific hardened version to download. When installing |
| 10 |
Gentoo, you normally download and extract a generic system image called |
| 11 |
a "stage3", tweak some configuration files, install some packages, and |
| 12 |
then (ideally) re-compile everything that was in the stage3. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
There are hardened versions of the stage3 archives -- just look for the |
| 15 |
word "hardened" in the filename -- but for the most part, hardening |
| 16 |
these days consists of setting USE=hardened in your make.conf, and in |
| 17 |
building a kernel with additional hardening features. When you |
| 18 |
recompile your system after setting USE=hardened during the |
| 19 |
installation, you'll wind up with a "hardened Gentoo" system, insofar |
| 20 |
as such a thing exists these days. |
