I found distcc hard work when I was installing Gentoo on my Atom box, so I NFS-exported its package directory to a 32-bit chroot on my workstation, did all the emerging etc. there, including building binary packages, then emerge -k on the Atom installed the system with minimum fuss. It's not too hard to keep the portage setup in step, once you understand what bdeps are :-( -- Regards Peter
