Mar 10, 2018 at 14:43 comment added LiveWireBT ErikF's answer is a nice addition when you are already doing package caching for other distributions you may be using. The overhead of maintaining several setups of this kind however comes with a high maintenance burden. Gentoo, Arch, Linux from Scratch, Openwrt and other projects are great for learning (I recommend Arch to every new co-worker) but not always the best fit. It's particularly not ideal for machines primarily built as consumption devices like Chromebooks are. I'm surprised that they can cope this well with regular Linux installs while being built as image-based appliances.

Mar 10, 2018 at 10:54 comment added Kusalananda Yes, distcc may work, but since the two machines run different setups, it may not work smoothly (different versions of development packages installed, etc.)
Mar 10, 2018 at 10:51 comment added user62916 Maybe distcc is a transparent solution...
