# [c] create ~/bin and populate it with symbolic links pointing to /usr/bin/distcc for each of the compilers your package might use -- gcc, cc, g++, c++
# [c] add that directory to the start of your search path: <code>PATH=${HOME}/bin:$PATH</code>
# [c] edit /etc/distcc/hosts to list the names of the hosts which will be servers ('''Recommendation:''' if your server and client are both on the GigE network -- scotland, ireland, china, india, or australia -- then append a "2" to the hostname to use the GigE interface (e.g., "scotland2")).# [s] on each server, start distccd:
# [c] start the build: <code>time rpmbuild --rebuild ''package''.src.rpm</code>
''ToDo:''
* Compare the build times with and without distcc.* Blog about the results.
