Hey Nick!

> Who said anything about compiling?

I did.  Lately 3 times, once from 3 different machines, compiling the exact same source, with the exact same .config.  I only did this to satisfy my curiousity about compatibilty from differing hardware and would they produce the same result usable on any x86_64 host, although it probably would have no issues running in a virtualized enviroment without changing a damn thing.

> Definitely beats watching a single package compile for 4+ hours.

5+ hours on "Little Mikey's Brain".  I didn't bother timing the kernel build on this machine but will on the next one which is a 16 penguin epyc with tons of ram and a targetted nvme disk.  Not exactly in the same league as a threadripper but is more than enough for my evil, demented purposes.

Life is good,
Maurice
