Most of them are pretty current, but I have seen some that tend to be a day or two behind. Oh: speaking of sentimental FTP sites, we've got some x-DEC-ies on this list -- whatever happened to ftp://gatekeeper.dec.com? It's still there, and it's still a *huge* repository of good stuff (really good stuff, even -- poke 'round some if you haven't been there before), but the last Red Hat version, for example, is 6.1. Is it dying a slow death? -Ken P.S. Just to annoy Ben, I decided to add a postscript: it looks as if gatekeeper.dec.com is a current kernel site, and it's /blazingly/ fast. My T1 is currently pretty much saturated downloading 2.4.13. P.P.S. (Sorry, Ben!) I just did something I'd never done before: I accessed gatekeeper via HTTP -- it shows an address to e-mail with questions. If I don't hear anything from this list, I'll ping that. And one last tidbit: NOTICE: We no longer permit mounting the archive via NFS. Sory for any inconvenience this may cause.

I recall ftp.wustl.edu (still up) and ftp.cdrom.com, which was, once upon a time, the home of Slackware and Cedar Creek(?) Software, but is no more or less a Simtel mirror. If anyone else wants to mail me, I'll gladly compile a list -- whether it be simply a handy site (I always go here for my RH ISO's -- fast, even when the others are bogging, and quick mirror updates, too), or some sentimental reasons. Heck: I'll gladly accept gopher, too. What with the Web, it's sometimes easy to forget that the Internet, and a whole slew of other protocols, existed long before HTTP. Somewhere, I still even have my Internet whitepages that I bought at BN: a big ol' indexed list of sites. -Ken (wanna-be computer historian) D'Ambrosio * To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the text 'unsubscribe gnhlug' in the message body. *

Here's a weird question. Where does one go to get a set of kernel sources ? I'm looking for something distribution neutral. I've done it once but can't figure out where I got it.
