My IBM took 1h30m to compile vim… (:

Yes it would be faster but it’s my first go at Gentoo for the base install I want to stick to the handbook. As soon as the base install is done I will see how to make my good Debian machine compile the packages for the IBM. Besides, I have time.

I have to set -j1 because of low ram. Yes I can just increase swap space to “add more RAM” but it will be swap on a 2001 HDD so it’s slow as hell

Aral Sea?? More like Aral Pond. cries

87 people know Landau and Griffiths… That’s 87 people more than what I expected…
