Hi,

at home i have an router and 3 clients all running gentoo.
This is just crying after an home rsync server like
described here ->
http:
//gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Local_Rsync_Mirror

After read this i thought if it wouldn't be better to just
export
"/usr/portage" via nfs to every client in my
network, and run "emerge --sync" once
1 day on my router. This has the advantage that the clients
don't need
to waste the drive space for the ebuilds, and i can save
time for
downloading distfiles.
The only thing on the client is to make an "emerge
--metadata".

Would this work or have i forgotten something?
