=GNU/Linux and BSD Mirrors on Campus=
Virginia Tech hosts mirrors for several distributions, including Ubuntu, Fedora, and Gentoo.
==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 [[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 Linux, including Arch and Knoppix. Their mirrors are available at [httphttps://mirror.cs.vt.edu/ httphttps://mirror.cs.vt.edu/].It has=Direct Links=* Arch==Free Software Applications==* RockySeveral Free Software applications are mirrored. ===Firefox===* Cygwin* [http://mirror.cc.vt.edu/pub/mozilla/firefox/releases/latest/ Latest version] (CC) ===Thunderbird===Slackware* [http://mirror.cc.vt.edu/pub/mozilla/thunderbird/releases/latest/ Latest version] EPEL (CC) ==Linux Distributions==The installation disk images can be somewhat hard to find. Direct links to the current disk image folder an additional package repository for the following Enterprise Linux distributions are provided for your convenience. ===Arch===* distros [httphttps://mirrorfedoraproject.cs.vt.edu/puborg/ArchLinuxwiki/iso/2009.08/ 2009.08EPEL] (CS) ===Fedora===* [http://mirrors.vbi.vt.edu/mirrors/linux/fedora/releases/11/Live/ 11] (VBI) ===Gentoo===* [http://mirror.cc.vt.edu/pub/gentoo/releases/x86/current-iso/ Current x86 ISO] (CC) ===openSUSE===
==VTTI==VTTI currently hosts a [https://mirror.vtti.vt.edu/site/ mirror] with many distro and software repositories, and IPv6-accessable Ubuntu===PPAs
=Package Manager Use=* To set up Ubuntu sync apt-get with on-campus mirrors, see ([[UbuntuUser:Telnoratti]].* To set up emerge on Gentoo seems to use on-campus mirrors, see [[Gentoo]]run this now.)

Depending on the attitudes of the current ECE IT regime, running it could possibly be a VTLUUG project.
