Not really suggesting we should buy one ourselves, but Backblaze makes those storage pods of 67TB (raw capacity) which do run Debian (in 4U), costing about 8kUSD in materials. http://blog.backblaze.com/2009/09/01/petabytes-on-a-budget-how-to-build-cheap-cloud-storage/ Maybe we should ask them to either sponsor one and one as a backup, sell us one or similar? We'd not want to run their storage thing, which is proprietary, but just having that much storage should be plenty for quite a while, I'd think. -- Tollef Fog Heen UNIX is user friendly, it's just picky about who its friends are -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-project-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
