You know, with all do respects to fun community meetings, one of the best things we can do with the Hamakor dues is to buy additional equipment for the Hamakor or IGLU servers, for the benefit of the community. We don't always have to rely on donations from companies. And another note on mirroring if you're running out of space: Please remember what mirroring is for. A mirror is only useful if many people are likely to want to download this. If only 5 people will ever download a copy, the mirror is completely unnecessary because people could download directly from the source. So mirroring something that is likely to succeed (e.g., Fedora Core 1) should be much more important than mirroring 7 old versions of some rarely-used distributions, or 7 variants of some Live-Linux-on-CD distribution. If you have logs of the server, you can even figure out which parts of the mirror aren't often used, and remove them. -- Nadav Har'El | Sunday, Nov 9 2003, 14 Heshvan 5764 [EMAIL PROTECTED] |----------------------------------------- Phone: +972-53-790466, ICQ 13349191 |Make it idiot proof and someone will make http://nadav.harel.org.il |a better idiot.
