Well, it depends on what you want your system for during
that time. It takes about 15 hours on the PII 450 I have
here at the office so your machine will probably take 24
hours. If you've got a decent amount of memory, that will
make it quite a bit faster. Set it running one evening and
it'll be done when you get home from work/whatever the next
day.
It really does help to compile it yourself because you can
use the compiler flags which suit your system. Switching
exceptions off, optimisations on and the correct CPU type on
the compile line makes for a dramatric improvement in
performance.
<p>> A few hours on your system...
That would be way too long on my old P200...
I was thinking about switching, but I guess I'll have to wait for
SuSE...
It's pretty easy as long as you understand the basics of
compiling big chunks of code. You'll need some spare time
though - it takes several hours even on my dual PIII
machine.
