=GNU/Linux and BSD Mirrors on Campus=

[[gp:Campus Computing|Campus Computing]] (CC) mirrors are available at [http://mirror.cc.vt.edu/ http://mirror.cc.vt.edu/] They host mirrors for Ubuntu, Gentoo, Fedora, OpenSUSE and a number of other more popular distributions

The [[gp:Virginia Bioinformatics Institute|Virginia Bioinformatics Institute]] (VBI) mirrors most of these large distibutions as well. A list of VBI mirrors is at [http://mirrors.vbi.vt.edu/ http://mirrors.vbi.vt.edu/].

The [[gp:Computer Science|Computer Science Department]] (CS) runs a relatively old machine that mirrors for a few smaller distributions of GNU/Linux, including Arch and Knoppix. The Arch mirror has now been updated so it has current packages. Their mirrors are available at [http://mirror.cs.vt.edu/ http://mirror.cs.vt.edu/]. 

The [[gp:Electrical and Computer Engineering |Electrical and Computer Department now has a machine that ]] mirror at [http://mirror.ece.vt.edu/ http://mirror.ece.vt.edu/] is currently down, but will be coming under new management.  There are existing on campus mirrors all for a lot of Arch linuxpopular distributions, and is kept much so while mirror.ece.vt.edu will host them it will focus on providing more up to date than unusual requests from the CS mirrorcommunity. Soon it'll have mirroring for Gentoo and It currently is considering hosting the following (add more if you wish): * Ubuntu as well: * Epel* Fedora* CentOS* Scientific Linux* OpenIndiana* OpenBSD* FreeBSD* NetBSD ==VTTI==VTTI currently hosts a [http://mirror.ecevtti.vt.edu/mirror]for mostly internal use, with up-to-date Archlinux and a few other distros, and IPv6-accessable Ubuntu PPAs

* ==OpenBSD==To set up Ubuntu sync aptuse the ECE mirror for the OpenBSD packages manager:<pre>$ export PKG_PATH=http://mirror.ece.vt.edu/pub/OpenBSD/<version>/packages/`machine -get with on-campus mirrors, see a`/</pre>where <version> is the version you are running. See [[Ubuntu]http://openbsd.org/faq/faq15.html OpenBSD FAQ section 15] distribution guidefor more information.* To set up emerge Note that not all architectures with the install sets on Gentoo to use on-campus mirrors, see the [[Gentoo]] distribution guideECE mirror also have corresponding packages there.
