Well, distcc can still be useful if you're installing onto a slow machine. Even without parallelism it can pay off to shift compilations from say a 700MHz machine to a 2GHz one. (Or maybe not, it depends on the tree, network, etc.) -- Martin __ distcc mailing list http://distcc.samba.org/ To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/distcc
