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? - Ken
