Call for Distro maintainers



This is a call for official TCLUG distro maintainers. 

Real Time is going to put up a 180Gb Linux box called Gladiator for housing
local copies of the 3 major distros; RedHat, Debian and Slackware.

This box will be online for all TCLUG members to use except during installfests,
which is when the box will be the NFS/FTP install server.

Gladiator will also house a CDR, so we can burn iso images for people at
installfests, which we have not been able to do.

Unfortunately (for me) I do not have the time to maintain all 3 distros, so I am
asking for volunteers to maintain these distro-trees on Gladiator.

You must be an 'expert' with your distro.

You must know who to create boot floppies/cdrom for installation for both a
network install and a cdrom install.

You must understand how to make dd-able images of your distro's boot floppies.

Must understand how to create iso images and keep them up to date, especially
before installfests.

You must be familiar with mirroring tools like: mirror, rsync, and wget.

You must have ssh (no one uses telnet anymore right?)

If you are interested, please send me email.  List your distro of choice,
years of experience with the distro, and your email address.

Thanks.
