I've been maintaining the X sources here at UCSC for about 6 months.
Until now we only had X running on our Suns. I have source on the main
server  (a 3/280) and NFS mount the include/lib/bin directories on all
of the other machines (mostly 3/50's and 60's).

Recently I have acquired an alpha level server from another vendor of
whose workstations we have maybe 8 or 10.  We have also recently
installed NFS on these same machines.  The point I am driving at is that
I need the benefit of people's experience maintaining multiple source
trees on one machine via NFS.  

The Sun server has lots of disk space (new disks) and the "other"
machine is fairly tight on space.  I wish to consolidate my source trees
as much as possible, as there are few differences aside from the server
code itself.

If you have ANY experience with multiple source trees on the same
machine I would GREATLY benefit from any experience you might care to
relate.  

Please e-mail replies and I will consolidate and re-post to the net if
there is a great enough interest.

Thanks in advance,

Timothy. W Oborne
