MirrorBrain is an open source framework to run a content delivery network using mirror servers. It solves a challenge that many popular open source projects face - a flood of download requests, often magnitudes more than a single site could practically handle. You need a "mirrorbrain" user and group for this; unless you have an already defined method for assigning uid/gid to accounts, use 247 for both: # groupadd -g 247 mirrorbrain # useradd -u 247 -g mirrorbrain -c "MirrorBrain" -d /home/mirrorbrain mirrorbrain See README.SLACKWARE for initial configuration and setup instructions. If you want to add some optional Slackware branding ("Powered by Slackware"), pass BRANDING=yes to the build script.
