Hi guys.
I am gonna buy a dedicated server and make it a public mirror for some distributions.
but how much RAM, Hard Disk, Band Width, ... will suffice? It will be a mirror for CentOS and Ubuntu both.
If that is all the server will do, it needs a minimal footprint for memory. The bandwidth - since 1 GB/s is now standard, and since this exceeds what your ISP will give you, no reason to do anything special there. Disk space -- I'd get a Raid 1 configuration (mirror) presumably 10k RPM SCSI (although 10k RPM Sata would do as well and might be a tad bit cheaper). Again, minimum sizes for these drives far exceed your needs.

Thanks. but how much band width do we need? 4TB enough?
Do you mean bandwidth allocation per month? If so I have no idea. Take the total size of the distribution and multiply by the number of downloads you anticipate.
