Installfest Services

Installfest "Services" is an experiment by | Brian A. Seklecki and Ted Rodgers to provide high performance Linux Distro Install and Update FTP/NFS/HTTP mirrors for use at the Installfest event.

The services run on CMU Hardware Resources and prevent the need for WPLUG attendees to consume Commodity Internet (commercial upstream Internet Connectivity).

NOTE: WPLUG doesn't officially endorse or support the distros provided on Install Services.
