I have had much better luck with a 120-MHz Pentium Classic with 128 MB RAM and an external cache, but that's about the limit of what I could possibly tolerate. Also, on that machine (which I haven't used at all in about a year) I started with a binary installation. You can do what people say or, if I were doing it, I might actually use something other than Gentoo, with primarily binary packaging.
