How are we going to spread the distcc load? According to distcc, it just hammers on machines in whatever order. Initially I thought that a hosts file would be the easiest solution, and people could just copy that to their /etc directory - but that will unfairly load 1 machine. Does the OSTC have a whiteboard? I'd suggest that we write the distingushing part of the IP address of the helper machines, what their specs are & a "current load" estimate ie. Spec IP load 2Gh P4 .17 10
For ease, don't include the installing machines - they'll be busy enough :) That way people can re-arrange their DISTCC_HOSTS for best effect.
