I do it in the same way that I handle FreeBSD systems. I have a single |
| 7 |
copy of the tree on a read-only NFS mount. I also have a minimal overlay |
| 8 |
tree that is also on a read-only NFS mount with some custom packages. I |
| 9 |
can manipulate that copy as I see fit, and it's already at all the |
| 10 |
machines. |

I have 26 machines at work currently running Gentoo, 6 of those are |
| 13 |
workstations and the rest servers. I'm actually going to be migrating |
| 14 |
the workstations back to Redhat due to pressure from users, but the |
| 15 |
servers are staying Gentoo. |
