    55=== Requirements ===
    6  * '''Size''': The '''actual size used for the isos is around 7.6 Gb of disk space''', let's say we don't reach 20gb, but is good to have at least 20 available, we have some bursts when syncin the isos.

    88 * '''Method''': The synchronization of the ISO repository is automatically managed using rsync+ssh. So we simply need an '''ssh user login''' access and to have '''rsync''' installed.

    10  * '''Web link''': It is also required, to have a subdomain created that points to a specific directory (this dir is your choice), like ''http://isos.elive.yourdomain.com'', it is not really important what name you use for it, just make sure that they works and that points to the specific directories where we will put the isos, try to access to them via a web browser.

    12 The selection of the Mirror from our website is automatically based in your IP location and balanced, unfortunately if you want to have a ''Thanks To'' message we don't have it anymore since the button gives the iso automatically, but if you think that you want, or we should really included it, let us know and we will try to create a specific page for that.
