>From my experince, you might want to ask your IT guys for something a bit
more powerful. I used to use an old HP Kajak for my builds, but the dual
PII-333 and 512Mb of memory was barely adequate. It took ~24hrs to build a
console image from scratch....
At the very least, you should try to max out the memory in the system, and
if possible add a second CPU to take advantage of bitbakes parallel build
capabilites.

I am now running on a dual core laptop with 2G... and am much happier :)
