With 1meg CM or whatever you've got then grabbing source patches will
indeed be quick however you then have to patch and compile.  I know
people who run gentoo and all their computers seem to *do* is be
compiling something.

Depends what you want to do really.

Is the i386 vs optimisations really that big a step?  Are there any
decent benchmarks on it in normal use for instance?
