As others have said, it highly depends on your hard disk and amount of ram installed. Our build cluster takes ~7 hours to build all 67 ports (including debug info), see https://releng.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/builds.cgi A single port is faster: build.sh started: Fri May 8 04:51:23 UTC 2020 NetBSD version: 9.99.60 MACHINE: amd64 MACHINE_ARCH: x86_64 [..] Successful make release Successful make iso-image Successful make install-image build.sh ended: Fri May 8 08:01:00 UTC 2020 Your machine likely will be slightly slower. A new machine and a build without debug info will be lot faster. But for trying, there is no need to compile the source yourself, you can use the latest "daily" build from the build cluster: https://nycdn.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/HEAD/latest/ Martin
