Just to add/clarify here: Please don't send random stuff to us without checking first. ;) At a minimum: - There must be some tangible benefit to Fedora from the hardware. (no, we don't want to host your personal fileserver) - The hardware MUST be rack mountable/enterprise quality. - The hardware MUST have a warentee from a major vendor with 24x7 response time. (No joe's discount computers or 9 to 5 when we get to it, etc). Your best bet if you want to send us something is to open a Infrastructure ticket or post to the Infrastructure list or mail admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and we can discuss things. Further note that we also accept co-location/server donations in other sites (in particular places we don't have good coverage already). I'd like to also thank our existing sponsors: http://fedoraproject.org/sponsors.html kevin
