I asked for it because people I work with asked me if there is a place
close to home where they could get a Linux installation disk and what
distros are available. I knew about this list but could not find it
published anywhere so I asked Wesley to send it here. Would it be useful
to put it on the Clug page?

Maybe you are familiar with the history of this list, but for those who
are not, from ages back when CLUG used to have a real world base at St.
Albans Community Centre, and downloading gigabytes was expensive, Linux
enthusiasts used to bring Linux disk images to be stored on the
computers there for everyone interested to bring his or her own CD or
DVD to burn the desired distro.

The archive has survived the time kindly cared for by Wesley.

Today the Fedora distribution was updated with the latest release,
Fedora 12.


HTH,

Adrian

linux isos on Caledonian at St Albans

2009-11-23 Thread Wesley Parish
Hi.

In reply to Adrian's request for a list of the isos available on the Linux box
in the St Albans community centre, here is the list of the files and
directories.  As you can see, in some areas it's definitely outdated.  I've got
the latest Ubuntu - I'll update the Ubuntu directory next week.

Share and enjoy!

Wesley Parish

Yes. Yes, you can. That's my get-out-of-jail card. I'll do the symlink, 
synch up the HDDs, then point Unison at the new mount point and resynch, 
confident that there are no differences. This is important, as a full 
synch from scratch takes many, many hours.


Shame though. I was kind-of hoping to find out how Gnome/Hal/whatever 
decide where to mount things.


Thanks,
