<ul><li> ==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</li></ul><dl><dd> '''Note:''' Unfortunately, these mirrors tend to be unresponsive; I do not recommend them. -[http://www.vtluug.org/wiki/index.php?title=User:Gotgenes&amp;action=edit Gotgenes]</dd><dd> '''Additional Note:''' To access via RSYNC, leave out /pub/ from the URL.</dd></dl><ul><li> ==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/].</li></ul><dl><dd> '''Note:''' These servers tend to have good uptime and excellent transfer speeds. I recommend them. -[http://www.vtluug.org/wiki/index.php?title ==CS=User:Gotgenes&amp;action=edit Gotgenes]</dd></dl><ul><li> The [[gp:Computer Science|Computer Science Department ]] (CS) runs a relatively old machine that mirrors for a few smallerdistributions of GNU/Linux, including Arch and Knoppix. The Arch mirror has now been updated so it has current packages. Their mirrors areavailable 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://li><mirror.vtti.vt.edu/ul>mirror] for mostly internal use, with up-to-date Archlinux and a few other distros, and IPv6-accessable Ubuntu PPAs =Direct Links===Free Software Applications==Several Free Software applications are mirrored. = Using Campus Mirrors ==Firefox===* Ubuntu users, see [http://mirror.cc.vt.edu/pub/mozilla/firefox/releases/ Releases] (CC) ===Thunderbird===* [Ubuntuhttp://mirror.cc.vt.edu/pub/mozilla/thunderbird/releases/ Releases](CC) ==GNU/Linux Distributions==The installation disk images can be somewhat hard to find. Direct links to the current disk image folder for the following GNU/Linux distributions are provided for your convenience. ===Arch===* [http://mirror.ece.vt.edu/archlinux/iso/latest/ Latest](ECE)* Server line: Server = http://mirror.ece.vt.edu/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch* * Updated every hour ===Fedora===* [http://mirrors.vbi.vt.edu/mirrors/linux/fedora/releases/16/Live/ 16] (VBI) ===Gentoo users, see ===* [http://mirror.cc.vt.edu/pub/gentoo/releases/x86/current-iso/ Current x86 ISO] (CC) ===openSUSE=== ===Ubuntu=== ===Sabayon===* [Gentoohttp://mirror.cs.vt.edu/pub/SabayonLinux/ All versions](CS) =Package Manager Use===OpenBSD==To use the ECE mirror for the OpenBSD packages manager:<pre>$ export PKG_PATH=http://mirror.ece.vt.edu/pub/OpenBSD/<version>/packages/`machine -a`/</pre>where <version> is the version you are running. See [http://openbsd.org/faq/faq15.html OpenBSD FAQ section 15]for more information. Note that not all architectures with the install sets on the ECE mirror also have corresponding packages there. = Supported Instruction Set Architectures =<table border{| class="1wikitable"><tr>|-<th> !
