What happens if the proxy is not available, such as when a laptop is away from home? With NFS, the DISTDIR share simply isn't mounted and files are downloaded to the local directory, there's no configuration switch needed when away from home. Caching the files locally does have its advantages, but for me the only computer that would benefit from it, my netbook, is the one with the least storage space to spare. -- Neil Bothwick I'm not opinionated, I'm just always right!
