I have got a few weak machines such as an Asus EEE PC and an old desktop with following parameters:



  • Power supply: Tracer Lux TRO-788 400W

  • Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-VM900M

  • Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E4300 1,8 GHz

  • RAM: 1 GB DDR2 533/Kl

  • Hard drives:

    • 3 TB Seagate,


  • SD card reader

  • Samsung DVD-/+R/RW

  • Radeon X800 GTO 256MB

  • Floppy disk drive

I love Gentoo <3 but it takes a lot of time to compile everything. Is it a good idea install Gentoo on weak machines or better try install Slackware, FreeBSD?

Many good questions generate some degree of opinion based on expert experience, but answers to this question will tend to be almost entirely based on opinions, rather than facts, references, or specific expertise. If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
