I imagine there would be a web-based configuration, allowing users to save config profiles, share them with others, etc.
Idea would be someone logs in, configures a linux build (or uploads a config file?), presses start. An E-mail is sent to the user once the build is completed.
Common builds could be provided automatically. Cross-compilation to other architectures should be relatively easy with gcc's cross-compiler.
In addition, one could write a distributed shared-process step, so someone could install an app (like SETI@Home for example) which assists the kernel building website by building peices of code for everyone's configuration profile.
You should be able to select any kernel version, a target architecture, and maybe even which gcc/binutils version to build with.
Thoughts?
