(I used to use a 133MHz-Pentium in that router, but I wanted it to do more work..) I now have a 533 MHz Celeron doing the routing and extra stuff, but this time I was warned and installed distcc before compiling anything...
for the 64 -> 32 bit problem I took this solution: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-332239.html works quite fine for me. > That may > have been a mistake - /mnt/gentoo/usr/portage/scripts/bootstrap.sh is > still compiling glibc and it's been running for two days or more > already!

At this rate I think I'll > still be poking bits around one at a time come August. With 133 MHz (MMX) it took something like 2 days.. distcc really helps. -- [email protected] mailing list
