Attempting my 1st gentoo install... wow they were not joking about how long it takes. But I hear it's like a right of passage so I'll grind away until it's done.
Starting hour 4 and only half way through the emerge update process. Going to bed. Maybe it'll be done in the morning.
No where near a gui. Although I plan on using i3 exclusively
Total time invested in getting a gentoo system running.
Machine time: 27 hours to full boot with i3 and a functional web browser.
Human time: around 4 hours.
Boot time: sub 45 second range.

I'm not sure how much of a rite of passage it is, but yeah, the compile times can be pretty crazy
