I regularly run eclean-dist on the mythtv frontends as I still have 32GB SSDs on a couple of them. These are pretty lean as all file shares & mythtv recordings are on the server that is running 24/7. I figured eclean-dist would wipe out everything that wasn't needed by the machine it was run on, but if all it does is clean stuff that isn't in the tree any longer that would work too. The server I'd be running it on has ample space. Which is why I was debating over the http-replicator (thanks for the suggestion Peter!) and just exporting the damn distfiles directory. I think I'm going to try exporting it first and see if it does what I want first, if it works I'll leave it. :-) Dan
