Re: Buildd

Just for information:

1) Once set up, the distcc server does not need root/sudo access on the box.

2) The CPU usage of the distcc server is modest: the distcc client 
preprocess the source code before sending it to the server. Given the
speed ratio involved, preprocessing the source on the client take more
time than compiling the result on the server, so the server is idle
most of the time. And of course compilation is a fraction of package 
building time (at least when using distcc).
