it is only a release candidate but still might be worth a look

105571 2002-12-12 23:12:00 The screenshots of it look great. I am downloading the first couple of megabytes just to see how fast the New Zealand mirror is. It is downloading at 15-20KB/sec on a 56k modem!!! flyer590 (2523)
105572 2002-12-13 03:21:00 The speed is only because the stuff at the start of the image is easy to compress. It will drop to a normal download speed fairly quickly. bmason (508)
105573 2002-12-13 04:53:00 OK, I admit it - the speed did drop down after 2 or 3 megabytes. It is still faster than downloading from a server in the US though. flyer590 (2523)
105574 2002-12-14 00:36:00 this post is kind of a <bump> really....
i'm downloading the run from CD version to try on vannessa, my doze box... it could be interesting... expect a report in about 24 hours

BTW Knoppix wouldn't run on vanessa because my video card was too poor a quality.. this will be interesting to see what happens
