and my upload bandwidth will be a problematic. Also from a security
point of view I'm stuck with an old kernel version or I have to forward port
a bunch of kernel patches (and my spare time is very limited).
Nonetheless if it could be somehow useful i will set it up with
the help of some real admin.
for a beginning, that sounds like a terabyte for the grab
certainly for setting up & configuring the repository properly.
and as long as the official repositories are still available (knock knock), bandwidth isn't an issue per se, is it?

i'm an openSUSE (& a little bit CentOS) centric user, so debs & debian are a little out of my league, i'm afraid ¦:-}

i'm going to contact an Unix User group and inquire what their conditions are for hosting a repository.
having an up & running server they can mirror is certainly going to be a requirement. but most likely a name and possibly a registered foundation of some sort (domain name?) will be too.

i'll be travelling coming week, so won't be able to do much, but i'll get back on this beginning of august.
