Old computers never die….. They just get so darn slow that we pause staring at the screen and feel our beard grow while they end the task at hand.

Some friends used to complain that Gentoo would take for ever to build something. Considering I installed a Gentoo machine every year and left it overnight building the system I thought they were wrong. But now I’m not so shure. I’m building alot of packages, and rebuilding alot for my internship project, and I’m using old old machines. And they are so slow!!!!
I must say that my “build mule” is a AMD Duron(tm) processor clocked at 800Mhz …. Good think I follow solar’s advices and use binpackages ….. To build glibc five times a day would be no fun….. no fun at all.
