Gentoo Can Use Pre-Compiled PackagesGentoo Can Use Pre-Compiled PackagesPosted Mar 21, 2003 1:02 UTC (Fri) by watersb (guest, #10230)In reply to: A quick look at Gentoo Linux by donio Parent article: A quick look at Gentoo Linux If I were setting up hundreds of workstations: 1) Once I had my "golden master" machine set up, then I would duplicate the disk with dd for each machine. Think Norton Ghost. A script could set a hostname after dd was done. 2) On that "golden master" machine, I'd tell Gentoo to build binary packages (as a side effect of installing, a last step during the normal process). I would post those packages (they are automatically generated in /usr/portage/packages) to a network volume. I could re-install from this standard set with "emerge --usepkgonly <pkgname>" This doesn't seem all that different from what our Red Hat sysadmins do.
