<DIV><SPAN class=768440516-08032006><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Were
you planning on downloading the isos or os directory (or both). I'd
suggest using bit-torrent for the isos, but rsync for the os directories.
</FONT></SPAN><SPAN class=768440516-08032006><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>iso images would be better if someone plans on burning a CD, os
directories if you want to network install. There is also a way to mount
iso images as filesystems if you want to save on disk. It's a bit
tricksey, but I can help you with it if you need it.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

Server/Mirror<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>I'm in the process of expanding on my
desktop (currently: AMD Athlon64 3800+, 2GB RAM, 250GB HD, DVD R/RW,
10/100/1000 NIC, dual-booting XP Pro and Ubuntu 5.10 at the moment, but
Windows is purely for gaming) with another HD or two, so I could very easily
drop a mirror of whatever on there. <BR><BR>So, here's my
questions:<BR><BR>Which distros do we want?<BR>How many revisions back do we
mirror for them, or do we just mirror everything available on the public
servers?<BR>Any reason the HD couldn't be set up to be
moved/duplicated/mirrored as needed, if say I wasn't able to make it to an
installfest, I just pass the disk off to someone else who can, and we have the
drive itself set for such work? <BR><BR>I'm looking at 1-2 320GB drives or
better, I would have no problem dedicating one of them for this purpose.
Or perhaps I acquire one of those Raptor 150GB 10k SATA drives?<BR><BR>Let's
figure this out...I've got disk space (coming soon) and bandwidth to spare.
