Linux Administration & Maintenance

Gentoo

On-Campus, we can speed installation/updates by using a local source; in your /etc/make.conf:
GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://mirror.iat.sfu.ca/gentoo/"
An alternative is to use an NFS mount, but if NFS breaks or is unavailable... :-(

SUSE

On-Campus, we can speed installation/updates by using a local source:
nfs://export/mirror/suse
