Ok, so we have a largish collection of developers, each with a Linux system on their desk.
Mostly something of the order of a 512Mb ram, 2.4Ghz Pentium4 + 40Gb diskspace. At the start of the project (a year or three back) somebody (not me) chose Mandrake 9.1 and that is what most of the guys have. That is all getting fairly long in the tooth and now that Dapper Drake is out I'm contemplating rolling out Ubuntu 6 to everybody in the team. Now I have wired up everybody with distcc & ccache to speed compiles but still.... Preprocessing, splint and linking and unit test steps are all on the source machine and not distributed. What if I roll out the new distro with a clustering file system and load balancing job queuing and.....? Question: Has anybody here done something like this?
