       Any suggestion about Gentoo Linux?I know Gentoo, but haven't used it that much.Is Gentoo can be reliable for low specs machine (ex: 2C/2T CPU with 3GB of RAM) as long the program code isn't sucks right?I want to use an old machine to become reliable in my own production but still keep relevant to the newest certain software that I use.I'm, okay to wait for the compilation as long it doesn't take for hours of time#Gentoo #Linux #suckless #lowtechhardware #x86 #x86_64 #i686 #Funtoo

       @drfaustz is #gentoo reliable for low spec machines? yeswill compilation take hours? yes. at least first full world build during the installation process. later, it will depend on how many & how big packages you will have installednowadays, most of the huge packages like browsers or kernel are also available as binary options. but from time to time (e.g. 1x/month), you will need to build new version of gcc, glibc, mesa, or something like that and then it will be hours

       @drfaustz you could try using distcc to distribute the load onto a more powerful system https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Distcc/Cross-Compiling
