Seeking a New Home for Linux From Scratch?

Posted by Cliff on from the any-good-port-in-the-storm dept.

Any Web Loco asks: "Linux From Scratch is in trouble. According to this explanation by Gerard Beekmans (the guy who started the LFS project) Shadowfax, the main LFS server, went offline at the end of October when VA Software ceased providing co-location space. LFS is a seriously geek-worthy project - might some of you Slashdot folk be able to help?"

    last time I checked they had lots of mirrors, make one of those the primary server, problem solved

  2. SourceForge? by bellings · · Score: 0, Insightful

    Why not use SourceForge? You practically get a lifetime guarantee from VA Software that SourceForge is never going to go away.

    I think we all agree that we're not going to see any pleas on SlashDot in a few months for new project space because a vital project repository like SourceForge has folded. In fact, I'd bet cold, hard cash that you'll never read news about SourceForge folding here on Slashdot. I'm that confident in the future direction of VA Software.
