It's one heck of a hurdle. I have no idea how one compiles under
Debian, or SuSe or Slackware. This is getting nuts!. When I first
started with Linux in 1994 it would take my 386SX/16Mhz 24 hours
to compile the kernel. I now have a 1.6 Mhz Athlon with 768M of
RAM and it takes 5 hours to compile and install. Somewhere we've
got backwards.

Sorry for the rant, just I can't figure out how some one new to
all this is going to figure this out. I like to think I'm pretty
good at this stuff but this has me over a barrel.
