I've been trying to use distcc to speed up making packages for my system, but I keep getting an error when an ebuild (script for automating compiles for Gentoo) would try to generate libraries. I realize that since the other computer I'm using is my office computer (a Pentium 4 Windows XP system) is generating binaries and object files only understandable in windows. I'll need to tweak the Cygwin such that I can get Linux binaries and object files from it. I'm using this as a reference.

Well.....My Gentoo machine is going smoothly :). Got Samba running, got Webmin running, Apache running, PHP. I'm in the process of putting MySQL on now.

Haven't been here in a while. I was never able to install any packages onto my home machine, but after some time I was able to install the binary packages I made in the virtual machine onto this Pentium 120MHz machine I am converting into gentoo. I had to edit the /etc/make.conf file to make sure the PORTDIR and PKGDIR variables were set, and that I put the packages into the appropriate directory. I haven't given up on my machine at home, just need to find a place to put it.

I've used Macromedia Dreamweaver in the past, and they had a site management feature that allowed you to update your site via FTP. I dismissed it in the past, due to FTP's lack of security compared to SSH. I tried it today on my personal site, and I'm impressed.
