> My first idea was to install Gentoo starting from stage 0 or 1 (it’s the distro I used 20 years ago), but I quickly realized that nowadays it’s officially supported only for developers. I would have had to install it from Stage 3 and then recompile everything… way too long and complicated.<p>Wouldn't starting from an earlier stage just mean <i>more</i> compiling? Anyways, Gentoo has binary packages nowadays, so you probably <i>don't</i> need to recompile much if anything.<p>Of course, Alpine is also great:)
