There is not any mention of that in the instructions. no but interestingly on a slower machine it will still parcel the compilation out via distcc to a faster machine (omit localhost). IE only one bit gets compiled at a time, but you can take advantage of a faster machine. so it doesn't hurt to have distcc in there for xfree, it just doesn't make full use of it. > > -- > C.
