Today we have a BUSY LIST! - Makes a welcome change... I believe that Andrew's original idea was to install the mirror machine with LVM set up and ready to go - so adding more space should be relatively seamless.
Obviously getting more / bigger hard drives is the next logical step to mirroring more distros! For the record, we should be able to get a 200Gb ATA hard drive for Lm59 excluding VAT. Philip - keep pushing for more cash :) ________________________________ Kevin Attard Compagno Malta Linux User Group (http://linux.org.mt) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ramon Casha Sent: Tuesday, May 25, 2004 11:55 AM To: Malta Linux User Group - general list Subject: Re: [LINUX.ORG.MT] How you can contribute to the MLUG I agree that MLUG should not promote one distro over another per se. However considering the ever-increasing size of most Linux distros, we do have a limit. IMO we should mirror those distributions that the largest number of users will want to download, so as to provide the maximum benefit. Keep in mind that most distros consist of one set of ISOs, one set of individual package files, and a set of updates at the very least. In addition, if we decide to mirror say the last 2 versions of each, that's a significant chunk of disk space per distro. -- Ramon Casha Malta Linux User Group (http://linux.org.mt) _______________________________________________ MLUG-list mailing list MLUG-list@linux.org.mt http://mailserv.megabyte.net/mailman/listinfo/mlug-list --- Incoming mail is certified Virus Free.
