Kernel schmernel, KDE takes something like 18 hours to compile (and I think KDE sucks -- Enlightenment all the way!). Knock that down by two-thirds or a half with a couple of more boxes with a 'net connection. Building an A/V Gentoo box takes many days. Damn tight when you're done, but it takes a while. distcc would definitely help.
That being said, I haven't used distcc yet. I've been spending my time figuring out the ATAPI crap under 2.4 (I've been told that 2.6 cleans it up) and kernel patches to sync a Treo with USB. I don't need to add another variable into the list by grid'ing with co-workers boxes who may be running different versions of stuff. :) Rich Rich Jesse System/Database Administrator [EMAIL PROTECTED] Quad/Tech Inc, Sussex, WI USA > -----Original Message----- > From: Mladen Gogala [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, October 27, 2003 1:29 PM > To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L > Subject: Re: anyone have opinions on the future of the 'grid'? > > > Haven't you ever heard of things like "modular programming", > "object oriented approach", "divide and conquer" and alike? > What in the Wall's name are you doing when you need a distributed > compiler?
