Oh, BS. US is excellent in comparison to other countries for mail
system. :-)
Really, US does better than Canada for mail, I think. It may not be the
cheapest in the worlds but it is better than most other countries. You
use Canadian URL so I think you have some experience in Canadian system
which is known to be slow.
Anyway, it is not fair to make such a negative comment on US mail system
despite its shortfalls, IMHO. US is not always the best but it does
things better than most other countries.
Anyway, 13 disks are problem. We need to have few key packages within
1 disk for installation and 1 extra each for desktop environments.
