=GNU/Linux and BSD Mirrors on Campus=
Virginia Tech hosts mirrors for several distributions, including Ubuntu, Fedora, and Gentoo.
==Campus Computing==
[[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
'''Note:''' To access via RSYNC, leave out /pub/ from the URL.
==VBI==
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/].
'''Note:''' These servers tend to have good uptime and excellent transfer speeds.
==CS==
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/]. ==ECE==The [[gp:Electrical and Computer Engineering|Electrical and Computer Department]] 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 for a lot of popular distributions, so while mirror.ece.vt.edu will host them it will focus on providing more unusual requests from the community. It currently is considering hosting the following (add more if you wish): * Ubuntu* Epel* Fedora* CentOS* Scientific Linux* OpenIndiana* OpenBSD* FreeBSD* NetBSD ==VTTI==VTTI currently hosts a [http://mirror.vtti.vt.edu/ mirror] for mostly internal use, with up-to-date Archlinux and a few other distros, and IPv6-accessable Ubuntu PPAs

See [[Ubuntu]http://openbsd.org/faq/faq15.html OpenBSD FAQ section 15]for more information.* To set up emerge Note that not all architectures with the install sets on Gentoo to use on-campus mirrors, see [[Gentoo]]the ECE mirror also have corresponding packages there.
