[ubuntu-mythtv] Providing Mirror on a Linode

[J. D. Stevens]

I currently have two Linode servers. One is in Atlanta, GA, and the other is in Dallas, TX. I would like to start by putting the ISOs on the one in Atlanta to see if the demands are compatible with what I can supply. If all goes well, I can add a similar host in Dallas, TX.

I make use of several real time blacklists, ip block lists, geoip block lists, and fail2ban monitoring. The geoip lists are for a few countries that are notorious for spam and hacking attacks. The other lists are for specifically identified hosts and networks that are notorious for spam and attempts to compromise servers. I don't expect the blocks to be a problem for people who want to download MythBuntu.

Bandwidth: Easily 2TB/month from the Linode data center in Atlanta, GA. Max available is a bit less than 3TB in a calendar month.
Physical location: Alanta, GA
CNAME: Yes, I can assign a host name to Apache2 that is compatible with your CNAME.
Daily rsync: Yes, we can do that. I can pull from here or you can push. We can authenticate with ssh keys.
Storage: 5GB is no problem. It will fit into the current configuration.

The host is gary.stevens.com. It is a backup server and secondary MX server for stevens.com and one other domain.
