I do it in the same way that I handle FreeBSD systems. I have a single copy of the tree on a read-only NFS mount. I also have a minimal overlay tree that is also on a read-only NFS mount with some custom packages. I can manipulate that copy as I see fit, and it's already at all the machines.=20 I have 26 machines at work currently running Gentoo, 6 of those are workstations and the rest servers. I'm actually going to be migrating the workstations back to Redhat due to pressure from users, but the servers are staying Gentoo. --=20 Robin Hugh Johnson E-Mail : robbat2@orbis-terrarum.net Home Page : http://www.orbis-terrarum.net/?l=3Dpeople.robbat2 ICQ# : 30269588 or 41961639 GnuPG FP : 11AC BA4F 4778 E3F6 E4ED F38E B27B 944E 3488 4E85 --ALfTUftag+2gvp1h Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Robbat2 @ Orbis-Terrarum Networks iD8DBQE/QAzusnuUTjSIToURAkeAAJ9m2gg780S8nEzyQ2Vuy0WqIcsklwCfRGe7 uNjYEnQ9Y8hXhsrhEXGpgwU= =K5y2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --ALfTUftag+2gvp1h--
