;)Back in the day, around 2005 or 2006 I did that and I had browse the internet in a text based browser for 2 days because KDE on that old machine took two days to compile.
How did it go? I’m trying to make my website more accessible by running it through w3m, so I wonder how the sites back then did.
It depends on the site, back then there were a lot of table-layouts which were quite fucked up in the text-only browser. Nowadays there are non of them which is good, but nowadays there are JavaScript only websites which don’t really work well. You can install a text only browser and try it out yourself.

I recently discovered
emerge --jobs 8 --load-average 8
instead of justmake -j8
. Not gonna help much on a 900MHz pentium, but it has really sped up my build times.Me: Use threads!
