[mythtv-users] Installing SVN to multiple machines

I use gentoo so all installs are building from source. I find that
ccache and distcc are very helpful at speeding up building packages.
With distcc enabled I set make to use -j8 or better and make use of my
multiple machines to do the builds.

Also gentoo will let you make binary packages out of your installed
versions so you can easily share them with updated systems of the same
arch.
