The department admisn use a meta-ebuild and binary packages to keep |
| 12 |
our workstations in line here. Just have a system set aside as a |

build master and share your portage tree among the workstations. The |
| 14 |
process I use for the cluster is similar: |

The cluster uses an unionfs/nfs root, so it's not *quite* same as your |
| 17 |
setup, but the meta-ebuild concept is easily transferrable. |
