debian has such a system, I have been playing with the debian source
install system that is a part of apt.. it's very good. and it builds
packages that you can use to distribute to clusters of identical systems,
or, if you would realize that local compiling doesn't make a sigifigant
difference in application preformance.. especialy with a generic ports
system

Thank You,
