Hello,

I decided I want to come back to Gentoo after all these years.

I want to try a Stage 1 install like it's summer 2002 again !

I would like to know

1. Is it still possible at all ?

2. What is the easiest way to create a DISTCC VM or LXC to fill up all my servers to speed up this task to the maximum ?

Thanks !

I am doing this exactly at the moment.

May be I am a little bit of different, I am building seed (stage0).

I am using docker.

You will need a base (image/tarball/chroot env) and your distcc helper (vm/container) need to have same version of gcc/clang.

You properly want to use a shared local portage tree. possibly a git portage tree with set tag/branch on specific target date. Because the entire build process likely spin several days and you really don't want your build process chasing portage changes.

you most likely want to enable build with binary packages in order to fast recover from build failure due to misconfigure USE flags

Gentoo have official docker stage3 images you can get it from docker hub.

See Bootstrapping Gentoo the hard way (fosslinux/live-bootstrap).
