What we seriously need now is a meta-mirror on iglu.org.il: a list of Linux distribution with each one pointing the Israeli mirror that holds it. A few days someone asked me where she could find Redhat 9 in Israel - she checked in linux.org.il (the obvious guess) and found only Redhat 8 (!). Luckily, I remembered that ftp://redhat.netvision.net.il held it (if you try http to the same host, you get something completely different!). But remember what each mirror holds is becoming nearly impossible, and we need to keep such a list of links - probably somewhere very prominent on linux.org.il. > I'm asking them this very question tonight.

Obviously having the machine fail twice a week is bad, but if it fails one every couple of years, it's not such a terrible problem. -- Nadav Har'El | Sunday, Jun 8 2003, 8 Sivan 5763 [EMAIL PROTECTED] |----------------------------------------- Phone: +972-53-245868, ICQ 13349191 |If I were two-faced, would I be wearing http://nadav.harel.org.il |this one?....
