Using distcc is a pretty good idea IMO. I would figure most android phones would have at least 256-512MB ram, and ample scratch storage (1GB or more). You might build a custom android-based diskless distro to boot them and use NFS. Back in the day we'd be all about the beowulf cluster potential... those specs used to be considered quite beefy. Amazing that today our cellphones have more computing capacity than our servers did 10-15 years ago... My cellphone is almost equal to the desktop I had just 5-7 years ago... crazy progress. /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
