Downloads
- Boot media allow you to boot from, e.g., an USB stick or CD and install Gentoo using a Stage.
- A Stage (previously called Stage 3) is a minimal set of Gentoo binaries to build a system in any way possible.
- Containers and Images provide a ready-to-use Gentoo system, e.g. for cloud or virtual machine usage.
- All release files are signed with an official OpenPGP key (see ) and distributed via world-wide download mirrors.

Download directory (contents, hashes, and signatures)
While our main distribution site https://distfiles.gentoo.org/ is already backed by a CDN, your download speeds may still vary depending on your location. We encourage you to select mirror sites close to you.
All official Gentoo releases are accompanied by an OpenPGP signature. The corresponding keys as well as instructions on how to verify the signatures can be found on the release media signature page.
