The organisation I work for, Eduserv (a non- profit registered charity)
has been awarded the contract to run the JISC National Mirror Service
(www.mirror.ac.uk) for the next three years, starting 1st August 2004.
The service will be hosting more than 1.5Tb of data, with a direct 1
Gbit/s connection to the Internet.

The existing providers of the UK Mirror Service are mirroring
rsync://mirror.physics.ncsu.edu/whitebox and we would like to continue
this.

=20

Please could you confirm that you are happy for Eduserv to continue
mirroring your resources after 1st August 2004, by either emailing me
asap, or filling in the online registration form at:
http://www.eduserv.org.uk/mirror/registrationfor

If I can be of any assistance, please get in touch - I hope to hear from
you soon.

Hi Mary,

The person to speak with is John Morris <***@beau.org>, he is the
central coordinator of the entire Whitebox Linux project, and runs the
the primary distribution site.

Hi,
Thanks for the support - the aim is to continue to provide a reliable,
fast mirror, and ensure the collections remain up-to-date and relevant -
hence the wish to continue mirroring whitebox!
Would you have any suggestions as to who we could contact to gain
permission to continuing mirroring the whitebox resources? Wherever
possible we wish to get permission to mirror a resource before we do
so... :)
Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
Kind regards,
Mary

yes please. mirror.ac.uk has been one of the most reliable mirror
services around. Hope things stay that way.
