The kernel itself used to take just as long.

I could build the kernel on a pentium 3 in about 20 minutes.

When you build your own kernel you don't compile all the random crap like token ring support and 30 filesystems nobody uses.

Well unfortunately those of us doing real work run things on real hardware.

I'm sorry me being poor when I was a student bothers you so much. I will try to be born rich next time -_-'
