Schools which use diskless clients can utilize distcc

to turn their school or lab into a supercomputer for C or C++ compilation
purposes. What a neat project that would be to implement. Imagine
compiling the Linux kernel in under 1 minute. Imagine a senior high
school programming class having access to a compiler farm.
