The fraction-of-time-to-setup feature comes from the fact that portage |

(package manager) does most of the work for you - and that was exactly my |
| 10 |
point - emerging xorg-x11 is much less time-consuming than downloading, |
| 11 |
patching and compiling it manually, which is not something everyone can afford |
| 12 |
to invest time into. |

Note that I politely ignore your binary-distro argument. |
