Greetings!!

You would want to look into cvsup, and use it to pull the entire source 
repository down to your distribution machine, and let cvsup on the other 
machines connect to it for updating their individual source trees. Check 
out the handbook for starters, and dig deeper from there.

I'm sure there are other ways of doing this, but this seems to me the 
easiest.
