Hmmm, other options?
Place that machine somewhere and use it as a remote distcc host? I've
already tested such a setup via two DSL uplinks (between arrakis and spice
back then), which is a quite slow connection by itself. But it did still
reduced the kernel build time by 50%.
Because crest, kullervo and q650 all have direct access to the internet (10
Mbps, not behind NATted DSL), they could make good use of the distcc hosts
anyway.
