Re: Image files of Linux and Unix on St. Albans Neighbourhood Resource Centre computers.
Many thanks. That would be interesting. I've just made an executive decision that we are not interested in maintaining a historical archive, but other than that all-comers are welcome, In particular *BSD distributions other than FreeBSD and PC-BSD which we have already.

$20 for Chris's drive space project?
Do we need to put the pot around for some drive space? How many more disks could be squash into those machines? I'll put up $20 towards some drive space. 5 other people want to match me and we can go get a 320gb disk.

That all depends on the size of what we wish to make available. My current thoughts are to not carry historical, unstable, or release candidate distros, yet to have a few of the fringe and special purpose ones.

Let's see if people actually use the facility before we spend money on it. So far ~35 ppl. have downloaded the list of distros, and I'm not quite sure how to interpret that number. The general rules I'm currently applying to make the selecton are:- 1) Up to date and installable from a LiveCD releases. ( Almost all are ) 2) No foreign language distros, or the international parts of the big ones. 3) No historical, unstable, or release candidate distros. 4) I am attempting to be totally agnostic as far as packaging and dependency resolution methods are concerned. 5) I realise that what is trash for one person is treasure for another, but otoh I don't intend to create an enormous archive of valueless "shovel-ware" either. "The Autocrat" will decide! 6) Special purpose, and fringe distributions have a place. 7) We are not strictly limited to Linux only. i.e. Solaris, The *BSDs, The HURD, Syllable, and Ractos are all in the archive. 8) Absolutely NO warez. -- Sincerely etc. Christopher Sawtell
