 |
|
Before I go ahead and install VirtualBox and try to figure out completely GUI-free VM management that way, I thought I'd ask if there are better ways to install a Gentoo VM on my headless Ubuntu server. All I will ever need is a command line interface on the Gentoo VM. It will just be for building catalyst tarballs and working on ebuilds. Virtualbox will install a lot of X11 stuff that I will never use. I can ignore all that, but I'm wondering if for this purpose something else will be more efficient.

You can try with qemu or also with a chroot.

Just use chroot, unless you have some other reasons for the extra layer of isolation (like additional users who should not mess with your host).
Obviously, mount proc, sys, dev, and dev/pts on top of stage 3 before locking yourself up inside. |
