I have been using it for a month or so for my kernel compiles using a cluster of Itanium 2 machines. What I like is that it is really easy to setup. The danger with the approach is that you can easily overload your local (master) host. As for kernel compiles for 2.5, there are a lot of ld steps which are still all done on the master node. Besides that you can really feel the speed difference. I need to take a look at ccache now that you mention it. Very cool. -- -Stephane
