        This is a possible solution, but teachers don't like to set up a proxy (if 
anyone get the pass, he can access to internet from machines not allowed). I 
think the best solution will be that emerge could print uris, so i could 
print them to a file, fetch them from master server (running suse) and the 
share them using NFS. Unfortunatelly, emerge can't do this ATM. What do you  
think about requesting this feature to portage developers? Will be to hard to 
implement?
