   It's quite new and not yet production-ready.

   Sabayon and Mocaccino come with binary packages. But the issue is more or less   
   the same: you need to get data (either source or binary) to your hosts. If   
   your connection is limited, you'll have to be creative... set up a local repo   
   mirror and fill it via network only if required once for all machines, or even   
   use media to get the data in.   
      
    RF> Hint: this is not a theoretical scenario.   
      
   Sure, although this is not the scenario I usually face. The place I work at   
   with the worst connection still has a 150MBit radio link.

   Yes, if you really rely on your own source builds. But as I said, Sabayon and   
   Mocaccino provide precompiled binaries as almost any other distribution.

   Always depends on the circumstances, how many bandwidth, storage, cpu power,   
   manpower etc. you have available. Setting up a repo mirror should not be too   
   difficult (at least not for Gentoo and derivatives).
