Matt,
i totally agree with you that building and running a server isn't a
thing one should do without the knowledge how to do it properly.
For sure, but : ssh exists and can be helpful. I mean he can give
access to a membet that knows how to do it. Seting up a server is not
so long to do, even remotely.
Not really - if the server is built wrong / bad in the first place you
can't really do that remotly without a terminal server, and you'd need
to build the server to a specific LFS standard to act as a replacment
for the main server
And that a DSL line isn't necessary of much help is clear too.
Well, it depends. I agree a DSL line isn't a 10Mbps symetric
datacenter line. But I have for example 1Mbps of upload (fixed public
IP, etc). Which means I could serve alone a bunch of guests. I could
probably be a mirror for France ?
We are not talking about setting up a mirror - the question is for a
replacment to the LFS server which doesn't server up " a couple of
guests" but acts as the main development repo and services for the whole
projects. For this a ADSL or leased line is not acceptable.
But, maybe we could try and think about some constellations to ease the
load on the server. As i take it, we're talking about belgarath?
Constellations is what I'm talking about : eventually, when 1 server
falls down, you loose only its upstream (well, not much). There are
advantages to constellations.
It just needs a new server, which is under way.
