I will surely not get a new server this year like I think I need (quad Opteron with 32 GB RAM, 15 TEuro money at least), so we have to care that the current server(s) will stay able to fulfill their tasks within time.
ftp.gwdg.de alone already lacks this requirement these days, so I have delegated the every-4-hours-APT-refresh to a second server. I really can't extend this service further, and in fact it is already too much hassle under professional aspects.

It's probably none of my business, and you can tell me that without offending me, but how in the world does this amount of infrastructure get /paid/ for in the first place? All the bandwidth? The hardware? Eberhard's Rolls Royce? :-) I've never had even a glimpse of what the various funding mechanism(s) are. What if we had a "New server gwdg.de for Eberhard" fund-raiser? Tacky? Against the rules? Against the law? Ever tried? I'd really appreciate having this gap in my understanding filled in... - Carl
