I have set aside about 17GB for the /home directory. I will be using a small router with a four port switch with DHCP set up.
My question was very incomplete here it is. 1 Should I set up the ftp directory in the /home or in a different directory 2 How much space will I need. 3 I am not sure how to set this up. I was looking at jigdo-file, but I am not sure if that is the correct direction to go. 4 I plan to have non-Debian files available for download such as patches for Red Hat and for Laptops the fiels and configuration scripts from linux-laptop.net. I will also want to use this machine for other purposes, but got the larger hardrive so I couls set it up for InstallFests. I am good with the Network side, but have not set up a server yet so I hope this will make my intentions clear.
