I'd go with distcc. It's easy to set up and well documented for gentoo. Plus, you have the computing power of both your pc's with only a tiny bit of overhead from distcc, so you'll definitely gain speed. However, I have noticed that certain large packages are not as useful for compiling with distcc as they do not allow compiles to be parallelized (I believe xfree and kde are such packages, although I could be wrong). Just make sure you put your Athlon first in your DISTCC_HOSTS. - -- nessie GnuPG key at http://studwww.ugent.be/~jvdneste/key.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/BBymLuLJs56ENfYRAoJmAJ9RJaBasylJQv6/XguEWsHcb09dYwCeJzOt NRcVruyTbkjL8NzagbT7uUY= =ZLJW -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
