Gentoo Linux is available free over the Internet.
Live environments and stage archives can be downloaded using the links below.
If you are unsure what you need to download, please refer to the Gentoo Handbook
for the complete installation documentation.
It explains how you can find the right architecture for your machine and which files you need at what stage of the installation process.
If you simply don't have the ability to download the large DVD or CD images, then you may wish to purchase a Gentoo DVD or CD.
