Do you, Gentoo users use Gentoo on main desktop, server or do you have installed Gentoo system on low resource hardware like network appliances, netbooks, on dockers, lxc containers, virtual machines too?
Where you wouldn't install Gentoo, even if you are Gentoo power users?
Gentoo on low-resource hardware or containers?

Jeroboam,
Welcome to Gentoo.
I have used Gentoo on the original Raspberry Pi. That's one armv6 CPU at 700MHz and 256M RAM.
Realise that gentoo splits nicely into two parts.
1. The things needed to build and maintain Gentoo.
2. The things needed to run Gentoo.
They need not both be installed on the system that will run Gentoo and there is no requirement to build on the weak system either.
You can use the official binhost, or if its not to your liking, make your own binhost.
When your target is a different architecture to your big hairy build system, you can use crossdev or QEMU built with static-user, or a mix of both.
There is a lot of reading on on the topic the wiki. Post back if you need pointers.
