I wonder how they managed to make GNOME software compile in 5 minutes as opposed to the 6 hours figure they quoted. Maybe they should contribute those revolutionary advances upstream to GCC... I know a lot of Gentoo users would appreciate the speedup!

(Just to be clear, I checked the website and it does say it still *compiles* this software - I'll assume good faith that GNOME isn't lying.)

I think that was meant to be read "less than 5 minutes downloading, plus building, and you're contributing". E.g., the building is not included in the 5 minutes.

I read somewhere else that the person writing this forgot that he just bought a way spec'ed out machine, including his 200Mbit/s or MB/s internet connection. It should be updated to something like 15 minutes IIRC.
