8 I'm starting to put together a portage/stable server configuration for a large
9 number of gentoo VM's that will eventually be hosted on a VMware ESX 4.1U1
10 cluster - with the goal of limiting major changes to once/year and otherwise
11 only applying security/minimum necessary updates. I doubt it will be easy but
12 I'm doing my best at it :)

14 As part of that I'm maintaining on github several related repositories,
15 including portage mask/use/config files, cluster management utilities, etc.
