As a point of comparison, yesterday I did a complete Fedora Core 1
installation (almost everything installed except games and servers). It
required 3/4 CDs. Total time for the installation, including updates via a DSL
line, was 2.5 hours. It took another hour to install my other packages
(fluxbox, java, NVidia drivers, DVD player, mplayer). Only the last hour
required much interaction however.
Oh, I suppose I should mention that my Gentoo Stage 1 emerge (occurring inside
a VMWare machine on an Athlon XP2500+ box) is still going after about 24
hours.
