   Hey Alexey!   
      
    AV> quite a large echomail distributor with 200+ links   
      
   Lean and mean.  I had something like that going on a 486 not too long ago.  It   
   had 64M total available to it but was using a fraction of that as long as it   
   wasn't compiling for itself.  I forget what version of gcc it had but   
   definetly gcc-4 and gcc only (no g++ etc.) which would make it pre 4.8.  Slow   
   but rock steady.  I miss that machine.   
      
    AV> And the most important: that's _not_ Gentoo.   
      
   I believe you.  Neither are the current two running here as well as all past   
   machines I've ever had the pleasure of working with.  They weren't all custom   
   jobs and of those most were stock Slackware installs although I did experiment   
   with FreeBSD occasionally back in the mid 1990's.   
      
   Life is good,
