Xbox as distro server @ installfest

Xbox: Gentoo ISO/Suse FTP via ftp/http/?smb?/?nfs?
Barton 2500: distcc demigod
Inspiron 8000: SuSe demo, w/ 15gb free space

I made my own personal mirror of SuSe 8.2 ftp edition (6.5gb!), so I got it installed on my laptop. I'll prolly be doing SuSe ftp install mirror, Gentoo 1.4 mirror, and Gentoo distcc box with my barton 2500+. I'll be sure to use GentooX for NFS/FTP/WWW ISO downloads. I chose Cherokee for web serving, since it's fast. oftpd for ftp, since it's "simply anonymous" and doesn't require all the passwd file stuff. NFS is a hat toss, since it's not as easy to use as FTP or WWW. I think I'll setuip SMB on it too, just for the heck of it. But if I setup SMB, I'll prolly axe NFS, since I'm not going to have infinite amounts of cpu cycles.
