I tried that once, but it is still compiling. :)
Kidding... honestly that was a pretty fun distribution to play around with ~20 years ago. The documentation was really good and it was a great way to learn how a lot of the pieces of a Linux distribution fit together.
I was never convinced that the performance difference was really noticeable, though.
- wantless 2y agoGentoo was the primary source of heating for my living quarters back in the early 2000s. My tower was highly constrained on memory, and I was on a relentless quest to pare out any modules or dependencies I wasn't actually using. Performance gains were primarily from being able to stay out of slow HDD swap space memory. I doubt there were any gains once amortizing the compilation times, but I ran my compile batches at night, and they kept me nice and warm.
