I can provide a couple of 2GHz P4 laptops for distcc
   

My son Caleb can bring an AthlonXP-2500+
I can provide a p2 400 as well if needed, on which I could put about 2 GB of 
distfiles of various vintages, in particular the latest current kde-base, and 
similar ltsp. To say nothing of the current Portage tree.

1. you DEFINITELY need a fast internet connection to do this, so the
sydenham hall is out (wireless? satellite?)
2. co-incidentally I just started working on another distcc boot-cd
yesterday. will advise progress in due course.

I agree that Sydenham Hall would have more room for greater numbers but
it will cost us (a little) and it is good to have a decent link to the
www.

That's why Sydenham was being suggested for numbers 6+ : shops, <McD's>,
parking..
A poll of enthusiast numbers decides - add one for me.

I may live to regret this but here goes....

If the numbers for another Gentoo Installfest are small (say 4 to 6 at
       

the

   

most), and Nick or someone can set up an rsync server I would be prepared
     

to

   

have it in our garage at home.

     

I have a switch and a Jetstart connection and everything is at ground
       

level. (No offence David but your stairs are not very welcoming when
carrying computer equipment) Shopping centre is nearby for food.
