We expect users to setup their own machines. The IT department really only deals with Windows. Having a local copy of a mirror saves bandwidth and install/upgrade time. This does not mean we install machines in batch mode. Far from it. They are just one at a time as new people are hired. I tried using cdn.debian.net as my mirror at home yesterday. That was certainly to slow compared to using a mirror I pick myself, at least at that time. It's hard to beat mirrors.kernel.org for bandwidth in many places even if it isn't technically close. -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
