Special Fuck You to:
I only use dwm, so no idea how long it takes to compile KDE or ~~Gentoo~~ Gnome.
Everything else is so quick. Just those four take 20-30 minutes each.
Before I had a proper internet connection (had to ask permission to borrow a dial up account) I bought a magazine that had a picture of a cow on it saying that Larry the cow was different. It was a DVD image of the stage one mirror of this new fangled Gentoo thing.
Learnt from the magazine how to install a bootloader and so on and then "bravely" typed
emerge world
into the terminal after configuring the list of all the packages I wanted. Including a full desktop (KDE I think but may have been Gnome). And Firefox. And Open Office. And some multimedia stuff I don't remember.On a Pentium ii.
Took a week before I could do the next step :D
Might I add:
qt as well
You forgot rust
