 SB> 48 HOURS? Well is it actually useable? I installed Linux on a 486-DX
 SB> 50 Mhz and it took 4 Hours to recompile the kernal.

It was something like that! (This was two months ago). Aptitude and yum 
updating the system was the most painfull part of the install. I have only 
been able to get the serial ppp connection running at 19200bps before lots and 
lots of error's start.

Useable: Duno yet, so far it's been a learning experiance. I'm not used to the 
way debian does things. I have really only put debian onto the 'miggy' to give 
it something todo.

I tryed compiling the bbs on it, but that failed with lots of gcc compile 
error's.
