Interesting. As far as I understood, apart from the (...unfortunatly not 
so) usual things about Linux in a school computer labs, it seems you're 
also using some forms of "clustering", at least to do some kind of 
parallel-compile.

I wonder if you're using some built-in tools from Gentoo [*] or if 
you've built, on top of it, something like a Beowulf cluster and the 
like... Any (technical) details, about this (...and/or also the rest), 
could be appreciated (at least by me).

Maybe this is a typo. As Gentoo is a Linux distribution, you were 
probably referring to a change in the distribution, right? From which 
distribution you moved away? And why? [**]

Thanks in advance,
Damiano

[*] I'm not a Gentoo user
[**] Obviously I don't want to start a distribution-flame. I'm only 
interested in the real reason that let you move to Gentoo.
