How are we going to organise IP addresses?  I think the easiest way (in distcc terms) 
would be to have static addresses, with a whiteboard of 
IP address :: machine specs  (to help with order of DISTCC_HOSTS var)

Of course I have no experience setting up DHCP (so DHCP might be better), but I 
suspect that this may be the easiest way to get sorted (esp knoppix looks likely as a 
base & we will therefore need to change hostnames anyway).

Also, having the definitive DISTCC_HOSTS environment in an NFS mounted directory might 
be handy (to ensure that the grunty machines are getting hammered first)
Thoughts?
