Hey, hey! I have broadband, and I'm d/l'ing the Knoppix now. It's wayyyyyyyy slow anyway (I assume from their end. Probably 5,000 FReepers trying to get it at the same time), from the Perdue mirror. It's going at a blazing 7.79 KB/Sec.

It's just as slow, so the broadband-vs-dialup war is moot here...I'll be test driving it after 2:30 PM MST.

;^)

I'm willing to send anyone a copy for the cost of the media.

Go to ebay and buy a distro of knoppix for a dollar. under 5 shipped. I used to d/l the distros, but I like to play around with em, and it takes too long to pull them down. I buy them nowadays. I picked up suse, gentoo, debian, bsd, knoppix, college linux, mandrake and fedora all for about 12 dollars shipped.I use fedora at work for a file server and firewall. I run suse here at home.

The only thing that surprises me more than the robustness of these systems is the idiocy of some of the clowns on FR who prate about "communism" and linux. It has nothing to do with capitalism and communism. It is a different method of development of software and a different method of marketing.

This issue and the issue of immigration convinces me that there are some damn stupid people on free republic.
