I recently figured out that Slack/390 is also available for download/mirroring via rsync. If anyone is interested, you would issue something like this: rsync -lPprvvt ftp.ibiblio.org::Linux/distributions/slack390/slack390-current/
or slack390-9.1, etc. If anyone does decide to offer a public mirror of Slack/390, please let me know, so I can document that on the web page. For those of you not familiar with rsync, you should check it out. It's a very nice, low-bandwidth way of keeping two sets of files in sync. The rsync daemon on the remote end, and the rsync command on the local end compare files, and only send stuff that's different. For example, if you have a 100MB+ file that keeps getting stuff added to the end, rsync will only send the newer stuff on the end, not the whole 100MB that you already have. It's available in source form at http://www.samba.org/rsync/ The Cygwin folks include it in their packages. Another nice tool from Andrew Tridgell, who also wrote ccache.
