a commercial DC project ?

[chronodekar]

The only thing I know is that BIONIC is some kind of system/environment that makes it easier to setup a DC project.

I'm wondering if I can setup a private Linux compilation project in my office? We have some PCs just sitting around idly...

If it can be done, how difficult will it be? We've got both Linux & Windows systems. (And one obscure Solaris system too!)

Do you have a super parallel task that you want to work on? I think the hardest part will be figuring out how to split it into individual small chunks.

Instead of DC, wouldn't you do more of a cluster? I've seen render farms use clusters with great results.

Hmm... clusters... I'll need to google that. Anyone out here with any pointers ? (or links ?)

Thanks for all the replies guys!!

And Fullmetal, thanks for those links.

-sigh- it was as I feared, I would need to re-program the compiler or change some internal settings to get it to work.

Yeah. I've gone into clustering before. You have to recompile all software to use the cluster library of your choice. And if you're doing compilation, then you'd have to recompile the compiler. Haha

Even if I'm not going to do it, I still think that the investigation was worth it!
