I've installed Ubuntu, Mint and Debian in many different ways, but never did it take three days, though I did end up tweaking a bunch of stuff in the following days. I mean, I guess, if you take that time into account, then the "installation time" becomes a bit longer, but... not really. Or are you building them for very spesific (or odd) hardware? Personally I'd never dream of setting up any serious production environment on a Mac or Windows PC though, outside those spesifically geared towards it like .NET. But then, if you use the latter, it kinda narrows down your options though. I mean, isn't that just common sense these days?
