FWIW, I've built and run LFS-7.7 on a 1.0 GHz VIA C7 "Esther", a Pentium-3 "work alike". It's a "scalar" core with branch prediction, but none of the super-scalar out-of-order execution that has become so much of a problem. I rather like the idea of working on a processor that runs at less than 10W, and the mini-ITX infrastructure makes a nice small system. It was a bit of a "heavy lift" for the processor, so I typically go back to 7.2.
