distccKNOPPIX is a compact Linux system with a distccd daemon that is easily booted and self-configured. With a small ISO size of 55MB, it's quick to set up and use.
This software aims at people who have other machines available to them but cannot get a distccd daemon running on their machine for some reason or another. The software is extremely useful for those who do not want to spend a lot of time configuring their system to run applications or do not want to clutter their machines with unnecessary applications.
It is important to note that the distccKNOPPIX version of Debian's GCC is not patched with pie or protector support like the Gentoo version is. Although the team is working to fix this issue, users may face problems compiling certain programs until the issue is resolved. All versions of the software are identical except for the default GCC. All four versions of GCC are available for download, and users can modify the default GCC at the boot prompt or using the "update-alternatives" command.
Some key features of DistccKNOPPIX include kernel 2.4.26, distcc 2.16 (port 3632), and several versions of GCC, CPP, and G++. In the latest release, the software added a C++ link to G++, made further cleanups, and created a mailing list.
Overall, DistccKNOPPIX is an excellent option for anyone who needs a straightforward, self-configuring Linux system that can run on small machines.
