I agree. I use distcc all the time and I am not a Gentoo user. We do not necessarily need to do a whole Gentoo install to demonstrate distcc. Perhaps we have one machine compiling something largish to compare with a couple of machines running distcc. Might make for a good intro before demonstrating a Gentoo install.
