If you use nfs, it's a little slower access for the subordinates to get the ebuild info and the dist files (not much!) but their portage trees are automatically synced up when the server syncs, and additionally, you can share distfiles downloads between computers (the real benefit in my mind). the only tricky part is that you need two mounts; a read-only for portage tree itself, and a r/w for distfiles so that other computers can download new software packages if they arent' already on the server. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
