Re: openmosix and distcc

Hi,

I use openMosix and distcc (makes sence when using a distro like gentoo that
requires a lot of compiling)

As you are probably aware that while not all processes will migrate using
openMosix (especially while compiling some things)
distcc seems to help matters a lot.

I would recommend that if you have not used distcc before that you make sure
all your nodes are the same and have the same versions of gcc, kernel
headers etc, etc as this is the main cause of failed distcc builds.

Afterwards, it is possible to configure distcc for cross compiling.

I have noticed that distcc can also migrate sometimes (so when a compile is
sent to another node with distcc, it too can migrate again if openmosix
spots that its not heavily IO bound)

I would say distcc is a definite must and speeds up compilations on my
cluster.

I would also recommend that you also use ccache to speed up compiling and
also install dsh to make administering your cluster easier.
