If I've understood correctly, with Distcc I could build everything on my main desktop PC and have the binaries transferred through network? How does this work, exactly, and is it a lot of work to set up? I currently have no networking devices besides a single modem/router, would something more be required? |

If you have a capable desktop PC you could cross compile for your |

other computers. Your main desktop would do all the build work and |

serve as a binhost. Distcc works brilliantly when it does work, but |

there are occasional failures. Of course, only failures get seen on |
