Yes, might arrange for free since I work there on the weekends doing night audit. Just let me know if that location is okay. Stop by and ask to see it if you want.

I don't believe any location in town has the bandwidth Peak10 has. At least not per my research and knowledge.

Keep in mind Gentoo does not mirror or redistribute upstream sources. Its easy to have a local copy of portage for people to NFS mount etc. But any package they install, sources would also need to be already downloaded. Probably feasible for the most common stuff. However there will be no complete Gentoo installs during an install fest. Even on a really beefy machine, your looking at several hours of compiling for a server, and at least a day for a desktop. Gentoo installs can be started, but likely not completed at the install fest. Which is fine, there is not much to do during the initial compile. Now one could get crafty and have some pre-built binaries packages available as well. But making sure they have the exact use flags, etc would be tricky. Much less need one for each arch. Nice thing about most sources, they are the same regardless of architecture. Not the case with binaries, and even on same arch, different use flags, recompile :) -- William L.
