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!
