I want to dedicate a machine to maintaining a local copy of the
current stable version of FreeBSD, including literally everything:
all binary options and packages, all sources, all documentation,
including the most recently ported X windows and its sources.  How
much disk space do I need for this (with ample space for future
requirements)?

Also, has anyone else taken this approach?  How hard is it to keep
the mirroring machine up to date, and to rdist or otherwise
automatically to merge changes into other machines in the local network?
