Reminded me of building things on my first SGI - an

I built X manually, which took a rather remarkable twenty-two hours to
finish the make. Out of sheer masochism I then built Qt and KDE, which
took a little longer.
Boy does that 195mHz R10k SGI Indigo2 seem quick.

That's about how long it took my first 2.0 kernel compile on a
386SX-16 with 4MB of RAM (an old Packard Hell desktop toy). I quickly
switched to my 5x86 after that. ;-)
(I won't mention how long compiles take on my DECstation 5000/120...
They're almost as bad, even with 32MB of RAM!)
