Looks like a full Ximian mirror would occupy twice the free space we have
available.

$ rsync rsync://mirrors.ximian.com/
ximian         	Ximian Official Mirror
ximian-control 	Ximian Control Files for Red Carpet Mirroring
ximian-gnome   	Ximian GNOME Distributions
debian-potato-i386	Ximian GNOME Distribution for Debian Potato
linuxppc-2000-ppc	Ximian GNOME Distribution for LinuxPPC 2000
mandrake-70-i586	Ximian GNOME Distribution for LinuxPPC 2000
redhat-71-i386 	Ximian GNOME Distribution for Redhat 7.1
redhat-70-i386 	Ximian GNOME Distribution for Redhat 7.0
redhat-62-i386 	Ximian GNOME Distribution for Redhat 6.2
suse-64-i386   	Ximian GNOME Distribution for SUSE 6.4
suse-63-i386   	Ximian GNOME Distribution for SUSE 6.3
turbolinux-60-i386	Ximian GNOME Distribution for Turbolinux 6.0

Maybe pick a particular subset?  The "ximian-gnome" bit would still be too
large (6G), but: ximian: 6.7G, ximian-control: 63M, ximian-gnome: 6.4M,
debian-potato-i386: 351M, linuxppc-2000-ppc: 428M, mandrake-70-i586: 468M,
redhat-71-i386: 426M, redhat-70-i386: 434M, redhat-62-i386: 443M,
suse-64-i386: 480M, suse-63-i386: 429M and turbolinux-60-i386: 471M.

In other words, I'd be willing to talk about mirroring Ximian stuff for up
to 3 distributions and the control files.  Say debian-potato-i386,
redhat-71-i386, redhat-62-i386 and ximian-control?
