Ah, the nostalgia! I can vividly recall the thrill of setting up Gentoo on my trusty Pentium 2 300MHz laptop. Then dist-cc came to the rescue, linking my laptop to my father's server in the basement. Compiling Phoenix (yes, that's what Firefox used to be called) was a lengthy process, spanning roughly 20 hours. Nonetheless, the sense of achievement and the memories created during those marathon compilation sessions were truly fantastic.

Also - the constant fiddling with CXXFLAGS even though my knowledge of C++ was fairly limited.
