First, this would be a better question to ask in a Linux specific community.
Second, Build time is really subjective to the computer and its hardware. There could be bottlenecks at the cpu/memory from the motherboard that will slow it down. It also depends on whether you’re spinning rust or using an ssd.
There are a lot of factors involved in the whole that makes it hard to definitively say how long something takes to build.
But it’s still possible to give an estimate knowing a little bit about the hardware, right?
The missing number is drive speed, because 4GB ram are not nearly enough, swapping is necessary. But with fast moder drives (were pcie ssds a thing back then?) expect half a day
At that age cpu it's almost certainly a hard drive not ssd.
My guess is 1-2 days. 4gb RAM is going to thrash like hell
ssds are a really cheap upgrade, and have been for a while. My systems of similsr age have had ssd upgrades for about 5 years now. It'll likely be limited to sata speeds though.
