hey all I have a ton of stuff to work with and I asked before about a Linux
mirror on campus.
Yeah ports aren't free, what $4.25 for a 10mbps and $7 for a 100mbps per
month.
The thing to look at is big hits like this are only the first few days/
maybe week a new distro comes out and in this case was not available from
the normal mirrors. So maybe one system on a 100mbit with a large IDE drive
for all distro then when a new release comes out setup multi mirrors?
I've got a few SPARC system I use for webservers, semi limited disk space
but enough to Mirror a few isos at a time. Might be able to come up with
more systems to use.
Just some ideas
