Oh God, yes please. Belnet would be a great adition. They already mirror
one or two other distro's, so openSUSE would be a great addition.
One or two? Make that 20 :)
Belnet is indeed a killer network. They host the Belgian internet
exchange (BNIX), and are just a few hops away from most major European
IXs. AFAIK they are also connected to Internet2.
At present they mirror the following distros:
SuSe, arch, aurora, aosity, centos, crux, damnsmallinux, debian,
edulinux, fedora, fnux, foresight, frugalware, gentoo, gnoppix, knoppix,
lineox, linuxfromskratch, mandrake, mepis, netwosix,pclinux, redhat,
slackware, specifix (now rpath), startcom, ubuntu, whiteboxlinux,
whoppix, YDL, yoper and a few more.
In addition they host things like apache, binds, backports.org, linux
kernel, openoffice, openbsd, freebsd, openssl, and lots of other cool
stuff. They used to host a Sourceforge mirror, but apparently they dont
anymore. It's one of the best mirror sites around.
I used to be connected directly to Belnet (100 Mbit port to a switch
with a Gbit uplink) .. Ah.. those were the days.
I'll mail the maintainer again to see if he's open for an openSUSE mirror.
Best,
Lode
