Gentoo will run on older hardware without any problems. You might have
difficulties owing to the from source build system, slow package builds
and that. However, if you've got a pre-built tarball or you use binary
packages there's no real reason it shouldn't work. Both the minimal and
full install CD's are still small enough they fit on a regular CD, not
requiring a DVD. Things are slightly easier in this situation if you
have a Pentium MMX or better, but even something as low as a 486 will
actually work provided you haven't loaded so much stuff on it that it
can't support it as far as RAM goes.
