workstation, but you can run Qemu on it and create an ARM
guest (same guest OS as raspbian, etc) to compile all the
software and then just copy the packages over. I know my
laptop is leaps and bounds faster than the Pi. Compiling
MythTV may not be too slow, but compiling kernels, etc -
you can see a great speedup. Also, using distcc will
greatly improve speed. If you cannot tell, I hate waiting
on computers :)</div>

<p>I guess that's something that you can't do with virtualbox, which
I use. I'll have to try that because it might be fun. I don't
care about waiting for computers because I'm retired and I have
many to attend to.<br>
</p>
<p>Besides, while my code is compiling I can go get a shot and a
beer :-)</p>
<p>My son has a tee shirt he wears to work that says, "I'm not
goofing off; my code's compiling"</p>
<p>thanks for the tip on Qemu.</p>
