today i drove out to Ft Jackson because someone i know from another forum was throwing out her computer.. i said no illl take it.. (no idea the stats at the time) but got it, monitor,mouse,speakers, keyboard. hooked it up, threw in gentoo live....

started installing.

got to:

emerge --sync
took 20min to go from "apps-*" (about halfway through i'd guess) to "dev=*"
+23min and im on x11

cpuinfo:
cpu family: 6
model: 6
model name : celeron (mendocino)
stepping :5
cpu mhz: 400.925
cache size: 128 MB
fdiv,hlt,foof,coma = no
fpu,fpu exception = yes
cpuid level: 2
wp yes
flags: fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 sep mtrr pge mca mcov pat pse36 mmx fxsr
bogomips : 803.02


GTS if ya can recommend any cool stuffs to add to use lemme knows (besides mmx). mostly it'll be firewall/proxy server for home or somethings. no gui. wanna try out hardend sources.
CFLAGS .... -Os !!!! That's a tiny RAM size and a tiny on-chip cache. You want to optimize for size BIG TIME.
more than 30hours into install and i just started emerging gentoo-sources.......
gg
i forsee many more days of compiling....
though i think i got too many use flags...
It uhhh boots? wo0... need to fix some stuff. (probably going to redo some stuff so it is more optimized for game machine)
but i decided i'd turn it into a mame/emulator box.....
list the emulators you can think of that would work fine with a 400mhz celeron =p
* = has emulator in portage

-MAME
-NES (DP+2+s/s)
-SNES (DP+4+s/s+L/R)
-Sega Saturn (DP+6+s)
-GB/A/C (DP+2+s/s+L/R)
-Neo Geo (pushing its power, but should do aight) (DP+6+s/s+C)



here is list:
bold = ones i would probably use. give opinions if you have used them (even windows version)
