I have built both Gentoo and FreeBSD on an old laptop (Pentium II
400MHz with 384MB of RAM). The down side of both Gentoo and Ports,
especially if you want to build a desktop env like Gnome plan on a
week or more of build time. My latest experience with the ports was 2
weeks for the total build.
How about using x-terminals on a network? I remember seeing them in
the surplus market for $15 recently. After all X is designed to be a
network gui.
