hey Mark ! that was not oriented to you, it was an
advice directed to Brad
in order to let him start with lower compil time. I totaly agree with you
on a single-core 2ghz cpu, dwm takes about 2 seconds to compile. pd, muttng, irssi,
postfix, alsa each take about 30 seconds to a minute. the biggest thing is proably X (20
mins or so) and firefox (20 mins or so). theres no reason you cant have a fully working
gentoo installed and configged from source in an hour. less on a dual-core..
C++ with lots of templates takes forever to compile. this includes patchage/ingen, ardour,
kde/gnome, etc.. ardour clocks in at around 30 minutes of compiling..
Best regards
