Wow, and we present the audience supported presentation :-) Sounds like a very viable idea. Whenever we schedule this presentation, I am sure, and anyone else is also welcome to join the distcc movement, we will have ample notice. I have nothing scheduled for February yet, Setting up a room-full of puters in DeVry is not going to be very difficult, i think. An hour and 2-3 volunteers will be enough to cover that aspect. I am not totally clear on the cpu capability of them puters, i guess i will ask. But if we have 2-3 Multi Gigahertz laptops in the audience, we might not even need to do this, and just be done with a hub and a handful of long cat5s. Talk about structured networking :-) Cheers Szemir
