The Gentoo boot CDs have it on them as well... 30 machines is a lot. Personally, if I was to do it, I'd plan for maybe 5-7. Then I'd have volunteers set up the 5-7 boxes with DistCC, and then show the time to emerge something reasonably big. Perhaps the kernel. But even 5-7 boxes existing purely to compile on is a lot in a room which is short on power... Kev.
