It appears as though there are a few Gentoo Linux users on campus. This is a great thing but one issue that they faced was getting updated files for emerge via rsync. Since our network connection is basically maxed out most of the day, I set up a local mirror of the files that is updated at 3:oo am and 9:45 am each day. This way anyone on campus can point to my mirror and get a nice, fast, up to date copy of all the files they need.
If you are using Gentoo and would like to use the local mirror, just point your system to:
rsync://gentoo-mirror.it.gac.edu/gentoo-portage
And if you have any problems with it, please let me know.
