    I had Gentoo running for a while on a very adequate x86 system -- while
    the portage system is fantastic and usually very up-to-date, compile
    time on large packages is loooong.

    On a slow system (I don't know how 9600s compare) you could be in for a
    very long wait indeed.

    RH-based systems might be limiting by comparison, but you'll be up and
    running a fair bit quicker.

    My 2 cents...
