I am new to installing and maintaining Linux. I am going to tinker with an old 200 MHz Pentium and plan to install gentoo on it. I see that distcc works with cygwin. Is it possible, stable, and wise to use distcc on cygwin on a windows machine to help compile packages for my Linux machine. I tried searching this newsgroup and it seems possible because I read about an effort build a standalone discc system for windows. Is there anywhere that I can read about how to set up what I want to do?
You can, but you'd probably be better off running a live Linux distro on the windows box.
If you insist on building Linux kernels remotely
on cygwin using distcc, then check out the latest development
snapshot of http://kegel.com/crosstool, it tries to make it easy.
