Doesn't using NFS slow compilation right down. I have a script on
the build host that enters the chroot and runs emerge -uD --changed-use
world, right after cron does emerge --sync, so the packages are
automatically available. Ass --usepkg to EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS on the
netbook and everything is transparent and no work at all (apart from a
couple of packages that won't build in the chroot).
