Hello all, While attending the Bram Moolenar talk at EACOSS, it hit some techie heads at that meeting that downloading software for example the recently released SuSE 10 still costs an arm and a leg for the majority of us in Uganda. EACOSS has a local mirror but since it is (still) hosted on the premises of some other organisation, it was recently throttled after the sysadmin there realised that downloads from the EACOSS mirror were chewing a substantial part of his bandwidth. EACOSS would still like to offer this service of a local mirror, is it possible to have this server placed at the UIXP so that it is accessible to all, fairly? What would it take? Whom do I talk to or "talk" to? Cost implications? All suggestions and hints are welcome Yours in service -- ************************************************************************ Lule George William (Mr) Network and Systems Administrator Uganda Martyrs University, Nkozi P.O.
