About three weeks worth of lunch hours. I had the machine in my office at
work, which was appropriate because we were an embedded OS shop. Everybody
would stop by to ask about progress and watch the blinkenlights. Once I
had it booting, a number of people liked to play star trek on it. Probably
10 man-hours total on the OS.
