Hi all,

Here are my non educated and random thoughts:

1) Making a CVS/SVN/whatever server is not enough. Each project needs also a 
bugzilla, and a ML or a forum. We need to host also a small site for each 
project, which will have multiple downloads. This setup is not as trivial as 
you think. Will you be able to support this for the next year or 2? 

2) The size problem is much bigger then you think. What kind of proejcts will 
you host? Maybe someone will come with  a new php/nuke localized version ? 
with patches and versions, and downloadable versions, it will take much more 
then you think. We cannot backup the projects, which is another problem. 

3) FreeSBIE? sux ass... come one... get a knoppix/kazix/pclinuxos... the 
FreeBSD lives sux... and it's just because of HW detection. I heard that from 
a FBSD packager, so I tend to beleave it. Mirroring Kazix or MiniKazit is 
better IMHO.

How abuout FreeDOS? it's stable and usable. ReactOS is installable under QEMU, 
but not really usable. Tested it a few months ago, and it's a shiny toy, 
nothing more.

4) A contrib mirror for Mandrake is a good idea, since we have all other MDK 
content in IGLU. This is the only piece missing (maybe cooker).

5) Please think about the future. Spamming IGLU/LINUX-IL/WhatsUp with messages 
saying "we need a new HD please... it's for your own good..." is not a good 
publicity. We still have a lot free space, and when we ran out of it, we can 
afoard buying a new one. They are not that expensive (you can get a 80GB for 
600nis if you get a bad deal).
