I also think TUNA will be interested in these servers. In Fedora Chinese
Community, we mainly using shared resources in order to avoid finding
data centers (and the cost$). While TUNA host servers directly in their
campus, and they do hold *a lot* of mirrors for various Linux
distributions[1]. They, and the linux community in China, will certainly
benefit a lot from additional hardware.
