A month or so ago, Chad mentioned that we should think about what
distributions we want to mirror. The SIPB cell is rapidly approaching
90% full, and we're a decent part of that.
So I've thought about it.
I think we should get rid of SLS; it's old, and it wasn't good when it
was new. It also doesn't follow the fsstnd conventions, and probably
never would.
I think we should also get rid of MCC, as anyone who wants to use it
should be clueful enough to ftp it, and it's just not that much to
ftp.
I think we should get rid of TAMU at least until it follows the fsstnd
conventions. The current release isn't very polished, as our
experiences with it indicated.
That leaves us with Slackware, which I've only heard positive things
about. I think we should also mirror Debian when it's public.
Comments?
