Anyone tried that? I wanna know how long it took.
I did it in my down time at work in a few days on an early 2010ish thinkpad.
Time per compiled package is relative to how quickly your CPU runs gcc, overall time will be dependent on that and how many packages you compile.
The last time i did that was back in the really early 00s (2001 - 2003 maybe)... it took "a while" and multiple failed attempts due to my personal stupidity, but after that i ran the system for the better part of a decade, so i think its time well spend...
Did you upgrade that machine over the duration it ran?
Only regarding RAM and a faulty hard drive... the thing was in its later years mostly a gloryfied typewriter which also ran a printserver.
I mean your OS packages
