Actually, if you would like to see what a "dream" OS could do,
you might look at 
http://www.geli.com

It usually takes me about 15 minutes of hands on work to get a new system
setup, and then a lot of crunching over (perhaps WA) networks happens.
If I'm installing over NFS, it takes maybe an hour to get the full 100MB+
that a developer install requires.  Does any other NFS measure up?
