I current use NFS to share my portage tree at home. All you need is to store the portage tree on one machine. I would suggest the actual machine the virtual machines run on, rather than the virtual machines themselves, but you really can put them anywhere. You want the tree to be writable, too, so that you can sync from any machine and also because of distfiles. -- Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering - Strategic Lead x86 Architecture Team Games - Developer Gentoo Linux
