Soup /g/, found my old eeepc 1000h. Any idea how I might get

go with debian netinst instead of gentoo if you don't want to spend a literal week waiting for the base system to compile.

That, or if you're feeling really creative, you can set up another computer for emerge to hand the compilation tasks off to and have it be a sort of thin client

The thin client idea seems interesting enough.
Open for other ideas though.

I've actually converted my thinkpad into a pseudo-thin client for when I run it on battery.

I have my home directory on a server mounted over NFS. I suspend all my web browsers and other heavy duty processes and then re-launch them through a SSH tunnel with fast encryption and X tunnelling.

There's a slight performance/latency hit, but it nets me an extra 3 hours of battery life.

Windows XP.
If you feel like joining ever more botnet try out MicroXP.

LXLE

That's actually a pretty nice idea.
Turning it into a dedicated honypot I mean.

Just put arch on it and then do whatever

Early atom and gma950 plus 1gb ram isn't enough for most things in the "whatever" category.
