I love how much things have progressed. I remember I used to have to set up a clean build to run while I was at school so it could be done when I got back. Now it is done within seconds.

Ha. Yeah. Remember taking a whole day or more for a clean build of the 2.4 kernel on my childhood Pentium machine. Would go to school hoping I’d come back to a completed build but it would just keep going for another day.

At this point I don’t remember the last time I’ve compiled a kernel.
