--The Debian package for distcc 2.12.1-2 does not contain survey.txt; in addition, this link ( http://ftp.samba.org/ftp/unpacked/distcc/survey.txt ) generates a Not Found error. Not sure if this is the right place to send the survey, so pls be gentle; I'm just incredibly grateful to have discovered the distcc project.
0. What version of distcc are you using? distcc 2.12.1-2 (Deb pkg) on all machines, gcc 2.95 on all machines. 1. Your name and email address: Dave Bechtel 2. OK to publish this? Yes / no email pls 3. Your codebase: lines of code (by wc -l), and language: Linux Kernel 2.6.4 4. Your machines: number, OS, processor, memory, network connectivity: (3) machines, connected via (2) 100Mbit Ethernet switches: o 1. p901 / Knoppix HDInstall (Debian), kernel 2.4.24 / AMD Duron 900 MHz (1789.13 BogoMips) / 512 MB / 100Mb o 2. p233 / Knoppix HDInstall (Debian), kernel 2.4.25 / Intel Pentium-1 233MHz (466.94 BogoMips) / 256 MB / 100Mb o 3. p166 / Knoppix HDInstall (Debian), kernel 2.6.3 / Intel Pentium-1 166 MHz (325.83 BogoMips) / 164 MB / 100Mb (NOTE: No DMA on HD; this is a Laptop) 5. Time to compile, with and without distcc: Distcc setup: [[ ' distccd --daemon --nice 1 -j 2 ' on all 3 machines; Host Order: localhost(p166), p901, p233 ]] o The compile was started from p166, which contained the source code. Patched kernel 2.6.3 to compile 2.6.4... Edited Makefile and changed: [[ #CC = $(CROSS_COMPILE)gcc CC = $(CROSS_COMPILE)distcc ]] With distcc: ' cd /usr/src/linux; make -s -j6 ' Result: 43 Minutes WITHOUT distcc, compiling only on the P166: Over 2 HOURS (approx, from memory) 6. Any other observations: You guys ROCK. Keep up the good work!! This was my first attempt at *any* kind of distributed computing, and you-all have made it EASY. This is also my 1st-ever successful cross-compile; previous attempts to compile a kernel intended for an Intel processor on AMD hardware, had failed. Thank you so much -- distcc totally made my day. ===== Contents above ThisLine (C)ThisYear KingNeutron Ltd. ===== Check out KNOPPIX Debian/Linux 700MB Live CD: ===== http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-old-en.html "C00K13 M0N573R 0WNZ J00!!
