Chaps,

Do you regularly lock up your CPU for lengthy periods while you compile the
latest version of KDE or Apache or the kernel?

(If you're a Gentoo user you definitely need to answer yes to that)

Do yu have a network with a number of Linux boxes sitting on it idly wasting
CPU time?

If this is you then you should take a look at distcc - it could be the
answer to all your dreams!

Seriously, even if you just have a laptop and a desktop this could save you
a lot of time... ..moreover its cool and about as geeky as it gets!
