Ok - I am not clear about the terminology - |
| 2 |
packages, versions... |
| 3 |
But i need to install gentoo 2004/2005 - if this |
| 4 |
is right. I am a graduate student doing research on |
| 5 |
vulnerabilities, exploits and IDS. Hence I am looking |
| 6 |
for older gentoo installations which i know have |
| 7 |
some vulnerabilities. |
| 8 |
If i have to build whole OS from source, I am willing |
| 9 |
to do that - but could not find any resource on that |
| 10 |
old stuff. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
Hope I am clear about why I am looking for |
| 13 |
such old stuff. |
