So far this setup has been a little tricky. In kernel support for the Wireless device comes with 2.6.27, so I prepared a LiveUSB with the install ISO and some of the bare necessary packages like, gentoo-sources-2.6.27, reiserfsprogs, dhcpcd and grub oh and of course a stage3 and portage snapshot.
Once I had got that all configured up I attempted to use distcc but kept on getting errors. So I did the normal emerge -uD world once booted and with net connectivity and over night I left xorg-x11 compiling. It took:
real 110m59.439s
user 72m10.081s
sys 25m20.474s
Which I don’t think is that bad for a tiny 900Mhz machine 
(If I get time I will post up my kernel configs for others.)
All the config working: http://danb-uk.net/2008/11/eee-pc-901-2627-working-eth0/

i recently bought a white Asus Eee PC and i am very surprised about the size of this machine. it is very small and lightweight compared to my Toshiba laptop.
