  Ringkasan dari artikel: Summary 1. Install distcc on all the machines that you want to use for compilation. 2. Start the distcc daemon on each of these machines. 3. Export the DISTCC_HOSTS environment variable with their names. 4. Start the distcc monitor (so you can see what's going on!). 5. Instead of configuring with: ./configure, use CC=distcc ./configure. 6. Instead of making with make or make -j 2, use make -j n, where n is two or three times the number of machines in DISTCC_HOSTS.
If you have programs that would benefit from optimization, then "rolling your own" binaries from the source code is the way to go. This can be comparatively expensive in terms of wall-clock time for larger builds, so using distcc allows you (and everyone else) to mop up those idle CPU cycles on the network and get up and running as quickly as possible.
