Intel has very kindly donated one of their high end boxes and that's what is running bkbits.net these days. We could run the exporter there pretty much as often as you want. Send some love to Intel, this box is way more stable than the previous bkbits.net. Len Brown made it happen. As Peter said, we do exports from Linus' tree every 24 hours. I can think of two things that we could do which might be useful to the non BK users: export more frequently (pretty questionable in my mind but it's no big deal to bump it up to twice or whatever) and/or export other trees (far more interesting in my mind). We can always use more hardware if someone is looking to donate but we can also afford to buy what we need. Our biggest ongoing cost in supporting you these days is our internet connection, that's running about $11K/year for the portion that is exclusively yours. Fear not, we get marketing value from providing that so it's no problem, we'll keep doing it. A question though, is anyone feeling like we need to allocate more bandwidth or is that enough? You guys currently keep a T1 line pretty much filled 24x7, we can add another one or bump it up to a T3 if really need to do so. We're always looking for more ways to help you (or more properly said: more ways to be perceived as helping) so let us know what you would like. In Bk or out of it. Is BK/Web good enough? Need something? Let us know. Cheers, --lm On Wed, Feb 02, 2005 at 04:28:23PM -0800, H.
