1.  Project Description

Gentoo/OpenBSD (or Gentoo/OBSD, or G/OBSD) is an effort to create a complete OpenBSD-based Gentoo system, sharing the complete administration facilities of Gentoo with the reliability of the OpenBSD kernel and userland.

Official Gentoo/OpenBSD logo can be found here.

We already offer a stage3 for Gentoo/OpenBSD, so installation is possible without the need for a regular OpenBSD installation. To install Gentoo/OpenBSD follow the install guide.

This project is still in its infancy. If you are interested in working on it, please send an email to the Gentoo/*BSD team.
