Not sure, might be possible, but all of Excito's stuff is Debian based, so a 
different distro might prove quite the challenge.

Ok, good to know I'm not all alone :-).

Yeah, well, I don't really want to. Especially the roundcube sounds 
interesting. Current Horde doesn'perform at all, so maybe with Roundcube the 
web interface might actually get usable. Also, for example, I'm currently 
running 2 apaches because of the openpkg setup, which I'm less than happy 
about.

Correct. I have 2 Gentoo boxes (one is a laptop) and one Kubuntu that also has 
distcc installed, so I have the distributed setup already. I'd have to make 
cross-compiling work, though. Should be possible because at some point in the 
past I've had a mixed environment of x32 and amd64 (they're all amd64 now) 
which cross-compiled just fine.

Well, I'll have another think about it and let you guys know how it turns out.
