Offering additional server space for Puppy.. Subject description: for devs and other genuine contributors |
|
Before i go bye-byes, i just want you guys to know i have some server space for our mighty Pupster and his related files, if you're interested.
Beclaws i don't have any programming skills, i figured this would be the best way for me to make a contribution to Puppy's ongoing well-being, especially since he's becoming bigger, fatter (ie. in popularity) and perhaps in need of more room in his playground.
I've put an introductory page at http://puppylinuxstuff.meownplanet.net/. Just PM me and we'll go from there.
Cheers, all..

Great stuff, Suz! It might be nice to have a local mirror, too! Bandwidth and CPU usage permitting, high speed downloads are definitely a boost to Puppy's popularity. Thank you for the support!

Hey Warren,
I eventually received a response from my hosting provider re CPU & Bandwidth usage:
| Quote: | Your answers are as follows:
a) There are no limitations as such, but a fair use policy applies. If you are using an excessive amount of server resources, we will ask you to remove any scripts etc. causing the server slowdown.
|
So, as Eric suggested, i should just dive in, go for it & see what happens
Unfortunately, despite my entreaties, torrent-hosting for poor Puppy is a big, fat NO - very disappointed about that.
edit: just read of the DoS attacks (Caneri, ecomoney) and Hostgator's latest dirty tricks....explains why i couldn't access any of puppylinux.org's pages either....there really are some low-life cockroaches out there
My connection here (adsl) is pathetically slow for some reason atm, (nope, haven't exceeded my limit), maybe the soggy weather, i don't know...anyway, hopefully over the next few hours i'll be able to mirror some files for Eric...

The more the merrier I say
I've thought about buying a hosting package, which I would setup an imageboard on, but perhaps I could add a puppy section to it, and add a place for file uploads, but they have to pertain to Puppy.
I could probably whip up something in PHP to create a decent uploading service for us perchance.
Then again, if there are file-size limits on my host, I could at least whip up something perhaps. I'll probably discuss that more in an actual topic.
