So was I back then.  Your 20 minute estimate is way too low for a 
first time install, but I've been known to unpack, configure, make 
su - and make install the latest snapshot in the 5 minutes I had 
left before she was due to make her nightly run, but this machine 
is reasonably fast too, its an AMD 1600-DX with half a gig of ram.
