Hi!

If you have 4 boxes running FBSD-Stable-7 and you want to combine the cpu power of all 4-computers to
buildworld/ports etc. How would you go about doing that and have a system wide roll out.

Example:
Lets say I want to install Firefox on all 4-boxes simultaneously and use the cpu of the 4-boxes to build the port
Firefox, how do you do that? I've read up on 'headless installs' etc. No problem there. I want to have the build
process share the cpu and code computations among the 4-boxes and distribute the finished product.

Anyone knows hows to do this or have a few urls that you could share that would get me started in the right
direction?

Thanks in advance.
