I am creating a new virtualbox gentoo instance. This will be used as a template for other gentoo vms on my laptop. For now it will be very basic.
-
1 cpu
-
512 MB memory
-
8 GB harddrive space
Being able to increase the template may be important. I have had problems in the past with increasing cpus in a gentoo vm. Adding memory shouldn’t be a problem. Adding harddrive space would be better if I used LVM.
Default apps
So far I only need java and ssh.
make.conf
For now I am using the settings I have on my local computer. This could cause problems with portability especially with cpu flags and the march option (corei7-avx).
