UCT LEG

If anyone is interested, we have a copy of the Creative Commons Licensed documentary BBS: The Documentary. It can be found here.

All fixed again.

Enjoy gutsy.

I’m sorry, but in the confusion of Ubuntu mirroring, somehow our Ubuntu package mirror broke.

We are working flat out to re-mirror it.

Ubuntu Gutsy is on the toaster. The DVDs aren’t out yet, but the Ubuntu, Kubuntu, and Edubuntu CDs are out and on the toaster.

The Official DVDs will be out in a day or two. At the moment, the release server is virtually unreachable…

As usual, we have unofficial package DVDs available.

We are no longer mirroring Scientific Linux series 3x and 4x.

Things that LEG needs:

• Use us. And report when there are problems.
• Money / Disks. We need to find more disks. We say this everywhere, but honestly, we need help persuading departments that they should support us…
• Mirror status software: We’d love someone to write a (preferably python / PHP) system that displays the status of each mirror (i.e. currently mirroring, last mirrored date, error detected in last mirror) on a web page.
• Member. Join our mailing lists.
• Organise things. We need society events.
• Anything else you think we need :-)

We’ve added PC-BSD. It can be found in /pub/bsds or on the toaster.

Can we remove older editions of SL? i.e. 3.x and 4.x?

Distros are releasing left right and center, and we are having to cull, to save disk space.

The victims are (so far):

• Debian-amd64 (only contained sarge)
• Debian-archive (pre sarge)
• Debian-non-us (pre etch)
• Kanotix
• Gnoppix
• The Open CD
• SuSE 9.3
  • SuSE 10.0 install
  • SuSE 10.1 install
• DAG RPM Repository
• Slackware DVD

We mirror quite a bit of Open Source audio and video.

The mirrors are found in /pub/stuff/audio and /pub/stuff/video.

Additionally, we are the primary mirror for CLUG and CTPUG talk videos.
