That is a tempting offer! Heck even 4x P4's would make a *really* nice distcc farm.
I would like partake in such a demonstration. I suspect that this would take some time to get setup properly. Perhaps the Feb meeting would be better? I know December is pretty crazy for me, and likely as much for others as well. So perhaps Feb might be better, that way all persons involved could spend some quality January pos-xmass-stress time to make sure this is a stunning presentation.
But those are just my thoughts.
Kevin, you up to this?
Cheers Chris

Hi Kevin and Chris.
What about a show and tell, with the compile bruing in the background, using
distcc, and a room-full of puters humming with distcc in the other room, You
(both) could do a gentoo install, and present the beauties of the portage
system. I am afraid the December meeting is taken, we have GAMES and FUN in
December, but the January meeting is still open, so If you are still
intrested, we could set-up the distcc farm, and you would get more time to
prep the presentation .... How about ?
Cheers

Talk yes, show no ;)
But why reinvent the wheel? The Gentoo Handbook is just for that
purpose.
Maybe the benefits of the portage system and the USE flags? And maybe a
running demo?
I would volunteer to do this, but I havent been around the lists and meetings for a couple of years, and I am out of town the day of the december meeting. Call it coincidence? Call it smart thinking!
I would volunteer to do this for a meeting in the new year (if anyone wanted my help or if anyone wanted to help me), otherwise the december meeting would be good, but I wont be there. :(
Cheers Chris

I'll volunteer to present it, if there's interest...

My suggestion is: a set of 2-4 games. A 5 minute presentation about
the
game it's virtues etc. Maybe a bit about the installation and hardware
requirements etc. The games would be then available to play by the
audience, and the whole time would be an open-floor style.
I am looking for takers for the subject, also i am looking for alternative ideas.
Cheers Szemir
