  1. For The Bandwidth Challenged by dorward · · Score: 4, Informative

    If you are bandwidth challenged (as I was until recently) then you have a number of options.

    • Go with a distro that lets you do a netinstall and only download what you need.
    • Go with a smaller distro. This is linux. You have the choice. Choose a distro that comes with everything. Choose a distro that fits on one CDROM. Choose!
    • Work with the Fedora team to produce a netinstall version of Fedora (or pay someone else to do it for you.
    • Get a friend with a faster internet connection to download it for you
    • Pay somebody or another somebody to download it for you
    • Buy a magazine that has a cover disc with the distro on it.

    Disclaimer: Some options may be overly expensive or impractical due to your geographical location. Don't winge. Pick a different option.
