Everyone in Jordan is invited to ask questions. You yourself may want to set up a mailing list that can be useful to people that speak your native language. You may check www.freebsd.org to see if there already exists an Aramaic(?) list in operation. As far as money, hardware, or bandwidth, I doubt that sort of help is available. >I also want to know what are the minimum requirements to host a mirror of >FreeBSD.ORG official site in Jordan. The requirements are merely that you have a means for distribution. Full instructions for mirroring are available on the website. You need a computer, a net connection, and maybe a 1 GB drive. FWIW, you may consider mailing a CD back and forth too. :) Thank You, | http://students.washington.edu/jcwells/ Jason Wells To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
