Fielder: Put a bug in my ear sometime to get Mepis Mirrored. Right
now, I'm resyncing everything (Suse - which has a long ways to go,
ubuntu, which is about done, debian, which I think has a bit to
update, fedora, which is updating some stuff, and centos, which is
complete, I think) and I've set up cron jobs to start rsyncs at 1:03
AM and to kill them all (-9) at 5:05 AM.

Jon Reynolds: If you want a smaller window, let me know.
Fielder: I'll see about fitting Mepis on there, and trimming excess
fat if necessary (I think we have a lot of ppc cruft with debian)

Next weeks WILL be the final week that the AKLUG server goes on travels.

Finally: Cheap hard drives at best buy. 40 bucks gets you a seagate
120G with a 5 year warranty.
