The Gentoo kernel has finished compiling. It took more than an hour. Now, to install the Gentoo distro filez....
Updates:
Now I am thinking about getting Perl, PHP and Apache v.2 onto this beast, which is slow as hell at compiling just about anything. This site has info about PHP and Apache2.
After talking with Paulo last night, I decided to try to install Gentoo Linux on the old Pentium I/200 MHz machine that Alana gave me. After some finagling, the Ethernet card finally started working, which was the main problem when I tried to install Slackware last time.
Now I can ping to my heart's content!
If this works, I will be moving hongpong.com over to the little old machine shortly. That will get the server stuff off my computer, a great relief.
