possibly gentoo linux. I spent 3 hours on it before I gave up, mainly because it was really late and it was building every program from source.

LorKorub:
Debian took an eternity to install, as well.  I bout a couple of cases of beer for a party I was having the next day, and I think I must have drank about 19 of them while I was waiting for that friggin thing to finish installing. I was blind drunk when it finally came time to configuring it.

On a related note, I spent 2 and a half hours installing Windows 2000 advanced server in school one day. Just formatting the 3 gig partition took 30 minutes. This was on a 733 mhz pc......lol

Nobber:
It took me four hours to get the base system of LFS up and running on my 1.4GHz Athlon PC.

Downloading and compiling extras (such as X and mozilla) on dial-up took daaaaaays...

Worth it, though!
