    As long as all the hardware is still supported in the kernel, this
    *can* run Gentoo with contemporary everything but there will be pain
    with all but the most lightweight UIs.&nbsp; Distcc (cross-compiling for
    i586) with localhost out of the node list would be nice; building on
    another system would be especially nice.&nbsp; Warning, warning, danger,
    danger:&nbsp; there are points in "emerge gcc" that have a big RAM
    footprint; if you ever hope to do that on the laptop itself, it will
    need a gig of swap and it will take a long, long time.&nbsp; <br>
    <br>
    Having said all this, this looks attractive as a thin client and
    little else! :)<br>
