So the distfiles are actually in /usr/portage/distfiles? |

I share my distfiles but I don't use FTP as that means storing copies of |
| 17 |
the same file on each computer. Instead, I use NFS. /mnt/portage is |
| 18 |
shared across all machines on the network and DISTDIR is set |
| 19 |
to /mnt/portage/distfiles in each make.conf. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Sharing /mnt/portage like this means I can also share my overlay across |
| 22 |
the network at /mnt/portage/local. |
