I thought we answered this for you two days ago? |

Put the same world and config on every machine, and build everything on one |
| 16 |
host called the binhost. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
emerge -k on every machine will pull binary packages from the binhost. This is |
| 19 |
identical to working with say Ubuntu, except that it's not a maintainer |
| 20 |
building packages and putting them on a remote repo, it's you doing it and |
| 21 |
putting the packages on a machine on your local network. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
clusterssh will let you log into many machines at once and run emerge -avuND |
| 24 |
world everywhere |
