I'm using Gentoo Linux.
And I have two little distcc clusters (one with 2 CPUs and one with 4 CPUs).

If you want to use distcc with the great Portage, simply edit your /etc/make.conf and add this lines:

CC="distcc"
CXX="distcc g++"
MAKEOPTS="-j4"
DISTCC_HOSTS="host1 host2 localhost"

This is experimental... be careful.
And remember to tweak MAKEOPTS="-jX" (where X is 2 times the number of hosts (times the number of CPUs of the host with more CPUs)).

Then emerge whatever your want.
