is there some howto/doc/hint/project which hints how to set up a Gentoo
based host which does not have a complete build environment?
I'd recommend taking a peek at IPcop (www.ipcop.org) to see how they did
it. Steal from the best :}
IPCop is Gentoo based..? ;-)
I would not want to recreate all the work that has gone into that
project, but if you feel you need it Gentoo-based, I'd be interested to
hear!
Just to clarify things: I don't want to fork a firewall
project/appliance based on Gentoo. I simply want to replace an existing
Gateway which is based on Mandrake (started on 7.2, now it's still 10.1)
- but since I've moved all my hosts to Gentoo, this is the last one
based on an aother distro.. ;-)
Actually, I don't need (and don't want) things like
"click-your-router-o-matic" that IPCop, ShoreWall, and the like provide
- but on the other hand very small distros like e.g. f4l, freesco or
other striped down lack a few things I want ;-)
And above all, I want a system that does not have "release cycles" and
therefore EOL for updates... just keep your installation up-to-date and
(e)merge upstream versions in the system.. which brings me to Gentoo :-)
