21 If I recall correctly, you can just change the PKGDIR setting in
22 make.conf to another location and then share /usr/portage the way I used
23 to. I was wanting to hit the tab key to let it fill in portage. lol
24 I'm used to tab completion but it don't work in emails. ;-)

26 Since http-replicator and rsync can be used and is so easy to set up, I
27 would just use that if possible. There may be exceptions to that tho.
