Does anyone know if there is a fairly current gentoo appliance somewhere that I can just install and then update or customize? I'd prefer to run it with vbox but if the appliance is vmware created that's ok too. I do have a license up to 6.5. If that isn't available maybe someone has a fairly current kernel config that is known to boot on a windows host with guest gentoo. As I recall from my efforts, there were always problems with something to do with scuzzi drivers or whatnot.
