Use mirrors if you're nice, but kernel.org has a nice little bandwidth readout on the front page so you can see how hard their servers are being hit if you don't feel like tracking one down. A few XFS changes from SGI in there as well if anyone is still worried on that topic. Watch for the MM patches when they come out. The FTP server seems to be snappier for some."

The biggest thing for me ... by beyonddeath · 2003-10-18 10:37 · Score: 0, Redundant

is linux's lack of driversupport. i dont have the skills or time to write my own, and if i dont have access to half of my hard drives, because my ide card is unsupported or wifi because the centrino wifi is unsupported you expect me to be happy and use linux anyway? well yeah i do have dual boot on my desktop but i need wifi on the laptop and its only a 40gb drive, not big enough for that.
