I never did get around to configuring and building 4.4.6. Maybe I
should. But my box is now pushing 7 years old and seems built like a
tank (albeit one that needed a new power supply after just over a year).
I'm hoping that when the time comes, I'll still be able to buy a
motherboard that will allow Gentoo to be installed on it. I can't see
myself doing that any time soon. The only real reason to get a more
powerful machine would be to be able to build libreoffice in a sensible
amount of time. If that were a priority, I could just upgrade to 16 GB
RAM and build LO in a ramdisk.
