i'm only using pine,lynx,ircII and the base utils,i dont use X for now,my
machine is only used in reading document and doing research about
car/engine modification and some other topic,and my modem (33.6) can do 12
megabytes/hour when the wind's right and my ISP unplug the time counter
between midnight and 8 o'clock (am),so does this will take a long time to
do the ftp install ???
2-: for the CD,is there anyone here who can say how long the delivery take
when sending some to Canada (Quebec especially),it may sound a dumb
question but usually,all the thing i see at the TV and mag. say that i
need to allocate 4 to 6 week for the delivery ??
