I even set up a DISTCC server on my second PC that had
more cores (possibly the six core Test Machine), to help
my weaker daily driver do a make world. You need the same
distro state on both, for that to work.

 
WHY?? Why do you have your 'Power' machine (possibly the six core Test Machine) sitting in the Backroom twiddling its thumbs whilst you use your weaker daily driver do a make world??
 
Paul wouldn't it be better to have all the power at your finger-tips and let the 'lessor' machine do all the non-time critical stuff??

You worry too much about details :-)

Small machines are quieter. The really powerful machine
here, has loud fans, and so it doesn't stay on for long
periods of time. The computer I'm typing on, you could
almost run it with the fan unplugged.

The previous small machine, it died. Another has taken its place.
65W processor. My PC currently draws 32W from mains. The Test Machine
(used for the DISTCC application), it draws 100W at idle. It has
the poorest idle performance, of anything in the room. It's off right
now.

My first PC, drew 150W at idle (wot a pig!). Back in those
days, the video cards didn't have any power saving modes.

I didn't plan it that way. It wasn't a conscious effort.
But when I look at what has happened, the machines are
neatly sorted by power/noise, without me being aware I was
doing that. It's just how it worked out. "The more noise
you make, the less often you're ON".
