==CS==The ([[gpUser:Computer Science|Computer Science DepartmentTelnoratti]] (CSseems to run this now.) runs a relatively old machine that mirrors for a few smaller distributions of Linux, including Arch and Knoppix. 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 currently mirrors all of Arch linux, and is kept much more up to date than the CS mirror. Soon it'll have mirroring for Gentoo and Ubuntu as well: at [http://mirror.ece.vt.edu/] =Direct Links===Free Software Applications==Several Free Software applications are mirrored. ===Firefox===* [http://mirror.ccece.vt.edu/pub/mozilla/firefox/releases/latest/ Latest version] (CC) ===Thunderbird===* [http://mirror.cc.vt.edu/pub/mozilla/thunderbird/releases/latest/ Latest version] (CC) ==Linux Distributions==The installation disk images can be somewhat hard to find.
