I could get into this type of meeting. In fact, watching the time it takes to do a Gentoo install
if you know the internals of the build process you can trick the whole proccess to use just binary packages (assuming of course you have the binary packages) That might be a good solution for the time constrained. Maybe at the time we do a Binary Gentoo install and then go into detail about how to emerge and build the apps at a later date. That might actually get me to use Gentoo again. If I can have a fully configured system in a short amount of time, I can setup cron jobs to build optimized versions at night.
Also, can the gentoo build work via distcc?
I looked deeper into the Gentoo distcc build and it looks like it might not be very easy. They require (correctly) a hardened version of the compiler if I under stood corretly and trying to ensure N machines with M distors have the right compilers would be unreallistic.
