Posted by Hemos on from the come-and-get-it dept.

Anonymous Coward writes "The ChangeLog as well as a readme for Slackware 7 are out and ready. Proceed with caution, ftp.cdrom.com's server has a new limit on the number of simultaneous user's (5000)... " It's out apparently - I cannot get on the servers though. Have fun!

  1. Seems to me mirroring should be First Priority... by Christopher+B.+Brown · · Score: 5
    There's a need, on this sort of thing, to forbid public access for a few hours, denying to all other than those that are formally mirroring the site.

    At this point, you've probably got:

    • A thousand people doing non-Slackware-related stuff,
    • 400 guys with cable modems doing online installs,
    • 3600 guys doing installs at 53K, and
    • 15 annoyed sysadmins that are trying to set up mirrors but that can't because ftp.cdrom.com is out of connections.

    There otta be a protocol...
