Rick, Scot Jenkins and I were speaking about this as well. I have a complete PC that I'd be happy to "contribute" to the cause, its sole purpose(s) would be NAT, DHCP, NAMED HTTP, FTP, NFS, SMB ( distro isos, and debian apt-get mirror etc etc) We could put a cd burner in it etc. Its not a fast machine but it wouldn't matter. About the only things we'd mirror on it would be the main linux distros (the ones most likely to be installed by new-comers to linux and don't know how to or can't download themselves. (redhat, debian, slack, recommendations?). I believe this could be done with a single 120Gb disk since we wouldn't keep much old stuff around. I wouldn't mind doing this if the group can pool some funds together for a disk and wouldn't mind if i kept it at my place for keeping it updated etc. > > > > > _______________________________________________ > TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota > http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org > https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list > > -- Ben Lutgens http://us-admins.com/~blutgens/ US Admins, Inc System Administrator / Server Gumby _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
