My PII/400 with 384Mb ram took about 24hrs I recall (not 4 days) but a P200
with 96 Mb would struggle I am sure.

Regards, Robert

I'm a bit worried that you may find that updating and generally maintaining
a 
Gentoo machine with that speed of processor would be somewhat, shall we say,

tiresome. To completely update the base of KDE on a PII/400 takes from 
Saturday morning until some time on Wednesday. While we will be able to 
compile applications for you on the much faster machines which folk are 
bringing, I'm a bit concerned that we might be landing you with a machine 
which is - in practice - unmaintainable.

What do others think?

Not known yet, depends how many people want to come.
