Well, I naturally don't wish to replace Apache 1 altogether. What I'm thinking 
is of running Apache 2 on a different port, and possibly hosting it on a 
different directory on the Apache 1-based port 80, by using mod_proxy.

It was Ligad + HP. But I suppose we can ask from donation from someone else 
(like IBM, Aduva, etc.) which will simply go into Ligad's pockets to finance 
the disks. In any case, my suggestion is to simply to put a polite plea for 
larger hard-disks to Linux-IL/www.iglu.org.il/whatsup/etc. and inform the 
world at large of this issue. (without accusing anyone) I'm a bit tired of 
keeping this an iglu-web secret and hope that putting it in the open will 
furter things up.

So far, Shachar has volunteered to talk with the designated parties, but I 
haven't heard from him since. (and it's been several good months ago)

Isn't ReactOS still experimental? I'm not sure if it's ready for prime time 
yet.

Ah OK.
