I am attempting to use 'bitcoin-testnet-box'[1] with Debian-packaged bitcoind, version 0.6.2.2-1.
I ran 'make generate-true'.  About a dozen bitcoind processes are keeping CPU usage at 100% since then.  The machine is a SheevaPlug, so not very powerful.

After about 40 hours, 'make getinfo' reports


bitcoind -datadir=1  getinfo
{
    "version" : 60202,
    "protocolversion" : 60001,
    "walletversion" : 60000,
    "balance" : 0.00000000,
    "blocks" : 45,
    "connections" : 1,
    "proxy" : "",
    "difficulty" : 0.06249911,
    "testnet" : true,
    "keypoololdest" : 1358451121,
    "keypoolsize" : 101,
    "paytxfee" : 0.00000000,
    "errors" : ""
}
bitcoind -datadir=2  getinfo
{
    "version" : 60202,
    "protocolversion" : 60001,
    "walletversion" : 60000,
    "balance" : 0.00000000,
    "blocks" : 45,
    "connections" : 1,
    "proxy" : "",
    "difficulty" : 0.06249911,
    "testnet" : true,
    "keypoololdest" : 1358451119,
    "keypoolsize" : 101,
    "paytxfee" : 0.00000000,
    "errors" : ""
}


When can I expect to have some coins?

According to NIST and ECRYPT II, the cryptographic algorithms used in Bitcoin are expected to be strong until at least 2030. (After that, it will not be too difficult to transition to different algorithms.)
