That works OK, but then all the subordinate computers have to run a |
| 9 |
sync. If you use nfs, it's a little slower access for the subordinates |
| 10 |
to get the ebuild info and the dist files (not much!) but their portage |
| 11 |
trees are automatically synced up when the server syncs, and |
| 12 |
additionally, you can share distfiles downloads between computers (the |
| 13 |
real benefit in my mind). |

the only tricky part is that you need two mounts; a read-only for |
| 16 |
portage tree itself, and a r/w for distfiles so that other computers |
| 17 |
can download new software packages if they arent' already on the server. |
