That's my doubt. > > If you want to build packages(tbz2), especifically for one machine, and you setup a container to do the building there you will have everything you need and you can have /etc/portage in sync, the issue might be if you want to reuse packages on both machines you would have to ensure the package and dependencies use -mtune=generic, but you still can have use flags differing that's more trouble. I wanted to do the same as you, but my resources are more constrained, I have an i3 desktop, where I have a container building for an amd-e2100 netbook(mostly for large packages), I didn't use distcc since building in the netbook doesn't really make the building much faster, but if I had more resources I would try to use distcc in pump mode.
