This description serves me as reminder for installing small Linux machines which are to complete remote tasks in a hidden location. Beside the basic installation, I also document further possibilities for machines doing special tasks such as allowing to browse the internet on the (high resolution) television screen. The installation procedure is based on a Gentoo distribution. It is useful for me and might help other people. Feedback is always appreciated.
