Now, I think it would be GOOD to buy FIVE or SIX STUDEBAKERS

Anyone remember those flying bikes in Galactica 1980?

And for your information, you can already find 2.4 kernel by default in Cooker for a long time. (RPMS on ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/Linux/distributions/mandrak e-devel/cooker/Mandrake/RPMS/

ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/Linux/distributions/mandrak e/7.2/i586/Mandrake/RPMS/gimp-1.1.25-13mdk.i586.rp m

and should install on most RPM based Linux distros on pentium and more machines.

ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/Lin ux/distributions/mandrake/iso/ is working for me. I'm getting 78K/sec, which is about what I usually max out at on my DSL.

Oops, my mistake. Those are the sites mirrors are supposed to mirror from. The official list of mirror sites is here.

In any case the couple of hours this story probably sat in the queue is more than enough to get a couple of gigs out to a few mirror sites. (It seems Mandrake only has two mirror sites; this one and this one).

With each release since about 5.3, Mandrake has gotten worse and worse in terms of producing a stable product. I love what they are doing in terms of the sort of packages they include, the fact that they are branching out from Red Hat, writing their own installer, and coming up with some great new ideas like Lothar and MSEC, for hardware detection/configuration and security levels. But Mandrake has been extremely buggy. They are too quick to release, and do not test adequately. Mandrake has so much potential, I hate to see them ruin it.

While the 2.2.x IP stack certainly requires a rewrite, the Linux kernel networking gurus have already thought of that, and since 2.3.15 (so in 2.4 final) the networking is fully multithreaded.

The really big problem is that much of the power/scalability gained by the multithreading (which in essence consists of eliminating global kernel locks) is not used because of the Linux core design (the bottom-half interrupt handlers are globally serialized).

Of course, there's a solution to this too: rewrite the interrupt handling core. This is already being done under the misterious "softnet" name (go here for details). This won't go probably into 2.4 because it involves too many fundamental changes.

The UK one isn't more than 155Mbps???

The swedish equivalent (Sunet) is also at 155Mbps, but something tells me it's user base is somewhat smaller... or is it? Maybe the UK universities don't grant their students free 10Mbps connections. (Great for quake *grin*)

An aside: the finnish one, aside from being bloody fast, has the best name: FUNET!

Wrong. He didn't say "Linux runs on less than that". He said "While Linux can only run on a few kinds of computers, NetBSD can run on more than 22". The first would be a statement of fact, the second one is FUD. Several of the architectures listed as platforms running BSD can also run linux.

There is some dude in the US making fine RedHat ISO's (which in turn are distributed all over the world).

Those packages are made for Mandrake but should work for Red Hat too... I've found lynx_ssl, mod_ssl, pgp, open_ssl and ssh!!!

I agree to that the software should be as free as possible. Have you read the CO PYRIGHT.yast in the distribution. These files is sometimes hard to understand, but can't you modify yast, if you state that it's modified and if you don't charge anything for the "new version"? Someone could maybe try to explain the copyright with some actual examples of what is allowed and isn't. If this is not alllowed then I will consider another distribution next time!
