Hi

  I have just got Gentoo 1.4 installed on a 500 Mhz AMD system.

First impressions so far is all good.

I built this install from the very beginning, you can get precompiled 
stages 1 - 3, it depends how much customisation you want to do.

emerge is brilliant, so easy to add packages, dependancies all sorted out 
for you.

Documantation at the Gentoo website easy to follow.

If you have been around Linux for a while you should have no problems 
getting it going, it isn't for newbies though.

If you have any questions drop me a line

cheers
