machines crashing during builds could also be a temperature problem as the drive, ram, network (in this case) and processor are all doing heavy lifting.  if you launch a system monitor and try to compile on the laptops you can see why they are crashing, it should be in the logs as well.

I have a bunch of old laptops that large builds such as texlive and ghc fail on, I'm assuming because of insufficient memory and disk space. If I've understood correctly, with Distcc I could build everything on my main desktop PC and have the binaries transferred through network? How does this
