This sounds about right, I have a Gateway netbook running a 1.6GHz |
| 13 |
processor and integrated graphics that runs Gentoo perfectly fine |
| 14 |
(XFCE mostly). The same netbook was rather sluggish running Ubuntu, |
| 15 |
and even KDE under Gentoo wasn't terribly impressive. With some |
| 16 |
reasonable CFLAGS and time to spare you can keep your compile times to |
| 17 |
within a few hours. |
