[Geodata] Natural Earth mirror/distribution

[Milo van der Linden]

I can provide a server with a i7 920, 12 Gb RAM 1Tb storage that 
currently has a 10% load for europe. Currently the server has geoserver 
2.0 installed and I am implementing mapproxy too.

Please let me know if I can be of service for Europe.

Kind regards,

Milo van der Linden
