only 290 MB? my friend Effi has been collecting such a "GPL CD" and has close to 450 Meg now (maybe more). got OpenOffice, Gimp, Cygwin, VirtualDub and anything and everything he can bring to his clients to show them that there is an alternative to MS and closed products. would you like that one mirrored too? (although I must admit, his list of apps is far from being as long as theirs: http://theopencd.org/thelist/) either way, I'm all for it. especially if they provide rsync for smoother mirroring of such sizes. -- Coming through Ira Abramov http://ira.abramov.org/email/ This post is encrypted twice with ROT-13.
