Yesterday I was looking at the structure of the Debian mirroring system. Having figured that out, I now plan on adding all three branches, stable, testing and unstable, to one of our two mirrors (probably Videl). I am in the process of cleaning out some junk from Videl in order to make room. Videl could probably use additional capacity, but Videl's current case probably can't handle another hard drive... worried about overheating. Please be aware that Oceanic is only able to host the mirror on the condition that traffic to/from the Internet is fairly small. Because of this extremely small amount of Internet bandwidth, FTP connections will only be allowed from clients within Oceanic's business network and RoadRunner customers. We wont leave Hawaii DSL folks in the cold. MonMotha is currently working on HTB QoS for Videl, allowing us to allocate a certain amount of bandwidth for different networks. More details will be posted once this is in place. As for the hard drive for the Oceanic mirror, I was thinking about a 120GB hard drive. I think that is the maximum that Tim Burgess' rackmount server will support without adding a PCI ATA133 card. I would like to share the cost of a 120GB drive with anyone else willing to contribute. Susan Chouinard just pledged $50 toward this drive. Anyone else? Anyone know a good vendor with the best price for a 120GB IDE hard drive? Warren
