[TriLUG] Mandrake 9.1 and Linux ISOs

[Turnpike Man]

I have had the most success with this place: ftp.uselinux.org

The download speeds were phenominal and very constant when I was downloading RH
8.0, especially when compared to ibiblio (which I find slow)  Let's keep this
little secret to ourselves!  ;)  ... Although, now that I check, it seems they
only have Debian and Red Hat... well... *shrugs*  just don't shoot the
messenger!

I presume these folks keep their mirror up to date... I'm not one who can
say... anyone else know?

laters,
David M.
