| 25498 | 2001-11-25 08:17:00 | Hi there, I've decided to try another linux distro, after getting sick of Redhat, and I think i'll try Linux Mandrake 8.1. Problem is, I can't find a local server, and I'm reluctant to download from overseas, just due to the large size of the download, and the undoubted speed increase from downloading locally. Can someone point me in the direction of a NZ server hosting the ISO for Linux mandrake 8.1? Thanks alot, Jonathan Giles |

So, that sucks :) Started downloading again using the Paradise server - thanks alot. As for Xsolutions - I'd prefer to download personally - yeah, I'm probably cheap, but i don't mind downloading at night. Thanks, Jonathan Giles |
