I have a bunch of old laptops that large builds such as texlive and ghc fail on, I'm assuming because of insufficient memory and disk space. If I've understood correctly, with Distcc I could build everything on my main desktop PC and have the binaries transferred through network? How does this work, exactly, and is it a lot of work to set up? I currently have no networking devices besides a single modem/router, would something more be required?
