| 529433 | 2007-03-02 06:57:00 | My ISP gives me free traffic in NZ and I have just read about pardus linux and I like it. Is there any chance that one of you knows of a server hosting it in NZ? I know this is a stretch |

| 529435 | 2007-03-02 21:57:00 | Well I can only hope From the review I read it has all the tools you want. Seems like Ubuntu with KDE and all the propriatry software you usually need to install like java and flash player etc and I really like repositories |

| 529436 | 2007-03-03 01:41:00 | If you want Ubuntu with KDE and great repositories try Kubuntu. You will need to install extra media codecs, Flash and Java separately but this is easy. Visit ubuntuguide.org and follow that guide. Do this first to get access to all packages: ubuntuguide.org Then you can follow these in any order: ubuntuguide.org ubuntuguide.org ubuntuguide.org dia_Flash.29_Plug-in_for_Mozilla_Firefox ubuntuguide.org t_.28JRE.29_v6.0_with_Plug-in_for_Mozilla_Firefox P.S. I don't know where you are but if you're based in Wellington Interface is running an Installfest at Victoria University in a week's time (www.interface.org.nz). Kubuntu will be the default distribution there for those who don't know what they want. |

| 529441 | 2007-03-04 00:06:00 | Sounds good, so do you know of a NZ download mirror? I'm not aware of any NZ mirrors. Paradise used to mirror a few distros, but AFAIK, they no longer do. |
