+<title>Distributed Builds</title>
+
+<partintro>
+<para>Nix supports distributed builds, where a local Nix installation can
+forward Nix builds to other machines over the network.  This allows
+multiple builds to be performed in parallel (thus improving
+performance) and allows Nix to perform multi-platform builds in a
+semi-transparent way.  For instance, if you perform a build for a
+<literal>powerpc-darwin</literal> on an <literal>i686-linux</literal>
+machine, Nix can automatically forward the build to a
+<literal>powerpc-darwin</literal> machine, if available.</para>
