In college, we installed pvm (parallel virutal make, I think), on all the decstations on campus. Why? I was doing an X programming class and some of compiles would take 2 hours. With pvm we where able to parallelize the make across all decstations, make compiled come in at aroudn 20mins. -- Minneapolis St. Paul Twin Cities MN | Phone : (952)943-8700 http://www.mn-linux.org Minnesota Linux | Fax : (952)943-8500 Key fingerprint = 6C E9 51 4F D5 3E 4C 66 62 A9 10 E5 35 85 39 D9
