I remember booting from a Knoppix live CD and using that to install Gentoo so that I could use a web browser, IRC client, and GAIM to keep in contact with friends while the full-day process of the stage1 install worked on my old, slow computer. I remember not including GNOME or KDE in my ebuild flags so that the build took less time, and then using WindowMaker as an X11 window manager because it took less time to compile and ran faster than trying to run GNOME or KDE on that old machine (PII 400, 96 MB RAM, 8 MB ATI onboard video back around 2003 or so).
