I forgot to mention the URLs from our discussion on Monday regarding 
remote compiling.

http://distcc.samba.org/ 

I hadn't mentioned ccache - but I am in love with it.  It takes a typical
27 minute kernel compile down to 7 minutes once you have a cache.  Distcc
is a fun hack and neato if compiling is your job, but cache is something
practical that we can all use.  I mention it here, because distcc and
ccache work well together, and work similarly.  Both of them have the idea
that they should be invisible to the user - a good assumption.
