I think either way would work. The bad thing about a NFS is that you |
| 21 |
have to run emerge --metadata to update the files in /var. I think this |
| 22 |
is still correct. I always synced to my main machine. It is easier in |
| 23 |
my opinion. I seem to recall having to uncomment one line in the config |
| 24 |
file and start rsyncd. It worked. |
