<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Seems to be a few people recently
wanting to discuss Gentoo as a server :-) so thought I would pose a question that
has been bugging me. </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">What would you guys recommend to
manage multiple servers and the package versions? </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">While I have a central emerge

the packages.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Example, openssh how should I be
