However the CDs (iso for what matter) are available in english already. Their main ftp server is overcrowded. Hoever, Rik VanRiel provided us with a really fast server. I will not describe every feature on it but the main change is the Synaptic tool, which in my opinion is the best APT frontend ever written."

    Actually this bring backs some fond memories when the Slashdot community tried to bring our server down back in '99. The server took the load fine (running good old FreeBSD of course), however our single T1 line pretty much maxed out. Makes me wonder, what kind of ftp server some of these companies and individuals run. I have yet to have a properly configured Unix server, web or otherwise crash from a heavy load. Can't say the same for NT and Win2k of course, they collapse under anything over about 30% load unfortunately.

    I wonder if the Synaptic tool allows me to access the Synapse servers? Look out Gary Winston!
