Hi,
I think mirroring fedora, xandros (eee pc users), gOS (I believe cheap
linux pc users -forgot the brand -everest or shuttle?), and k+x+ubuntu
repositories + images (not xandros) would be a good idea. or mirroring
developing/small distributions' repositories... but only if there were
no user restrictions. I don't see much point if there are user
restrictions...
Thanks
Mehmet.

Hi UMLUG,
I'm sure some of you know the LUG used to maintain a mirror for
various distributions on AFS. Unfortunately, it was last updated in
May 2004, with Fedora Core 2.
I'd like to get it going again. I've started pulling down a few
distributions' CD/DVD archives, but I'd like to know how much
interest you all have in a local mirror, so:
- Do you think we should operate a distribution mirror? Would you use it?
- Should we mirror just CD/DVD images or also host package archives? (This
means a lot of space, but we have it.)
- What distributions, if any, should the mirror have? (The business school
already mirrors CentOS.)
- Should this mirror be accessible from off the campus (with restrictions,
such as only allowing UMD users, and depending on the university's OK)?
- Other projects?
