Attached Link: Excellent Blender tutorial book

Hi, guys - for probably the fifth time in about 3 years, I've decided to have another serious effort at getting to grips with Blender.  I think this time I might make it, thanks to the really useful classroom tutorial book available (free) from the attached link.

My question:  I'm doing a lot of my learning via little test animations, which means that I have to stop work regularly to let the movie render.  I've just noticed the 'daemon' button in the render section, and it got me wondering....

Is it possible to set up my work, use the daemon to shoot it to my other PC on my home network, then keep working at this machine while the other is working?  Or have I misunderstood the whole purpose of the thing?

Thanks!

This is a good question, I also have another computer I could use to render while I work and would also like to know how to do this.

But for now, here is a little trick I use. I open a second instance of Blender right before that long render, then I can work in one while the other is busy rendering :)

Thanks for the useful tip... which also made me realise that if I wasn't so lazy, all I have to do is walk into the next room, run Blender on the PC there, then get the .blend file via network  from the main machine,  and set it rendering  - while I go back to work on the main machine again!
