This is very interesting. I've read a bit about sets a while ago and I'd |
| 17 |
say I should really try it out. |

Yeah, I was just thinking about that since building a powerful, new |
| 37 |
computer around my area is prohibitively expensive. But getting old, |
| 38 |
prebuilt computers is ludicrously cheap. I figured that I can get a few |
| 39 |
of them for $50-75 and just plug them to an ethernet switch to do the |
| 40 |
compiling for me. |
