I recently did a stage 1 install on a Dell Latitude 233MHz w/ 64MB of
RAM and 4GB of disk. 

You *will* want to use distcc if at all possible. 

Also, if you have a distfiles directory you can share, that will cut the
build time (fewer downloads).

Now that it is done, it runs really nice considering the hardware...

Hello,

I'm about to get a new laptop and I was wondering whether somebody could
comment on the usability of Gentoo on a laptop system.
I can see two arguments:
- laptop with little resources - customization of gentoo might be
advantagous ...
- laptop with little resources - all that compiling will kill you!

Thanks for any hints and field reports!
Joh
