 apt-gentoo enhances the Debian package installation experience to make
it fully competitive with newly-popular source-based distributions. As
packages are installed, apt-gentoo automatically downloads their build
logs from the buildd network. The logs are then slowly scrolled past on
the user's terminal to simulate building the software on the local
machine. apt-gentoo optionally, and by default, gives increased realism
by spinning the CPU in a tight loop between build log lines, and writing
large files to disk.

An additional utility apt-gentoo-benchmark is included to tune the delay
loops for your hardware by finding the length of time taken by typical
compiler and linker runs. (On slow or low-memory hardware we recommend
leaving these values at their defaults.)

Please test - download the deb from

Ha ha ha!

Hey, Ron, you should install Ubuntu and then install this. Ha ha ha!
