[Ubuntu-be] ubuntu gaming + live cd

[Bram Gadeyne]

Thanks for all these reaction!

I'll distribute a ubuntu 10.10 (by then) cd-rom over the network and I will
create a local ubuntu mirror so players can even choose more games.

I've found this tutorial (
http://www.howtoforge.com/local_debian_ubuntu_mirror) about installing such
a mirror server with apt-mirror but its for ubuntu edgy. Is this still the
best way to create such a local mirror? Is it correct to download these
parts of the repository :main, restricted and universe without the sources?

Promotional materials about ubuntu (without gaming) is also welcome! If
needed we can return them afterwards.

with kind regards
Bram
