I'd argue that's not entirely true. I've been doing some testing with
Spacewalk and CentOS 6 VMs on VMWare so did quite a lot of installs. 5
minutes was pretty much bang on how long it was taking to do a
boot/partition/install/register to spacewalk with a fairly minimal server
setup across a gigabit network.
