6 I have one box that I run emerge --sync on, and then export /usr/portage
7 with nfs to a few other gentoo boxes. Works well. For eix, you can do
8 eix-update on the nfs-clients. I have been experimenting with building
9 once and using the nfs-server as binhost. Small variations between the
10 boxes have so far made me abandon that, but a single version of
11 /usr/portage has given me no headaches.
