Okie Zheng Da,
I shall place you fully in charge in mirroring Linuxberg.
Your ftp account has just been transformed into a shell
account. Login and do your stuff. And yes, use ssh and
change your password immediately.
Fellow editors, meet Zheng Da, a business ad student
in National University of Singapore. Zheng Da has just
joined us. On top of mirroring linuxberg, Zheng Da will
also be writing on his experience of introducing Linux into
a real life working place.
As a result of the points Zheng Da has made, I suggest
that we do not mirror rufus but mirror Linuxberg instead.
It is true that rufus does not have appealing interfaces
and linuxberg seems to have lesser requirements, only 8
Gb. I hope that there are no objections.
There will be 6 more members joining us. I will announce
their names when they have affirmed their status. Thanks.
