Well... I'm not worried about how long an Indy or an Indigo or
anything made in the past 15 years is going to take - my first kernel
compile was on an 11/730... I think it was around 8 hours, possibly
10. Pretty much anything I do these days is going to be faster.
I'm more concerned about interactive responsitivity. Sounds like
unless I get a free Indy (including local pickup), I'll probably keep
my eye out for an Indigo2 or Octane.
Thanks for the advice.
