I've found there's just too much overhead with distcc, plus much of the |
| 15 |
work is still done locally. I have a couple of Atom boxes, a server and a |
| 16 |
netbook, and I've set up a chroot for each on my workstation. In the |
| 17 |
chroot I have FEATURES=buildpkg, using an NFS mounted PKGDIR available to |
| 18 |
both computers, then I emerge -k on the Atom box. |
