Re: Getting Linux
What makes going to http://cdimage.debian.org/ "the preferred method", and http://www.linuxiso.org/ "the the cheap copout".
I got disk 1 using cdimage.debian.org and disk 2 using linuxiso.org, and bottom line, ISO was much faster and much easier.
NOTE: results may vary ;-)
I understand that there is a lot of history to cdimage.debian.org. Obviously, a lot of work that went into it too! My point is support all of the users well. cdimage.debian.org is a smart solution to some, but if you got the bandwidth (and the server does) use it.
I would really like to see the net install option as csj and others have suggested... it seems that the infrasture is already there in the installer... I'm not ready to take part ;-)
Best regards,
Lloyd
