Building KDE 1.0 (or was it 1.1?) from source on Redhat 5.1 was the first ever major thing I did with *nix - I barely understood anything about Linux or building software at the time. I was so amazed that I even got it working.
My old Pentium 200 classic (64MB RAM from memory) barely had a working dialup connection, and it seemed to take ages to download the tarballs and build them.
I remember building 3.2 (ish?) again years later on a much much faster machine and it still seemed to take about the same about of time though :)
