Gentoo Reference Platform
- Gentoo Reference Platform
The Gentoo Reference Platform (GRP) is a snapshot of prebuilt packages that Gentoo Linux users can install during the installation of Gentoo to speed up the installation process. The GRP consists of all packages required to have a fully functional Gentoo installation, including all lengthier builds such as KDE, X Window System, OpenOffice, GNOME, and Mozilla. [cite web|url=http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/2005.1/hb-install-about.xml#doc_chap2_sect1|title=What is the Gentoo Reference Platform?|accessdate=2006-01-04]
However, these prebuilt packages aren't maintained during the lifetime of the Gentoo distribution. They are snapshots released at every Gentoo release and make it possible to have a functional environment in a short amount of time. The user can then upgrade the system in the background while working in the Gentoo environment.
History
The GRP was first released with Gentoo Linux 1.4, on August 5, 2003.
