I am reading over the info on distcc so that I might be able to

older P4 1.3 Ghz system to have help compiling from my dual Opteron

I only want the Opteron to help the P4, not the other way around, the
Opteron does not need the help.
Is that configurable as such?
I do something similar with a group of 2+ ghz p4s doing all the
compiling for
a 150 mhz p3.
Yes, but you need to set up a cross-compiler on the Opteron. Or can
the 64bit compiler generate 32bit code? Not too sure here.
Uwe
I just read a short time ago about the cross compiler.
From my reading it only needs to be installed on the machine starting
the process and using resources of another.
Since I want the P4 to use the Opteron then the P4 needs the cross
compiler in place.
I think this is backwards. The cross compiler should be on the Opteron
box, since distcc is asking
the Opteron box to produce 32 bit code for the P4 box.
