Open Source Software - Local Mirror?

[Uncle]

Hi all

Is there a local place where I can grab open source software - such as a SuSE Linux installation?

Thanks

mirror.ac.za rocks.

For an alternative, try KOffice.
Pretty much interchangeable from my perspective - but I do not use more than bullets, bold and italic

If you're on IS, with a lot of extra local bandwidth to spare, try ftp://ftp.is.co.za - very nice as well

I used them twice for some cd's they ship it to you so you don't have to download. I got excellent service from them.

If you choose to download:

ftp://ftp.mirror.ac.za/ or http://mirror.ac.za/
ftp://ftp.is.co.za/mirror/
http://ftp.leg.uct.ac.za/pub/
ftp://ftp.uwc.ac.za/mirror/

Im sure there's more, but those are the ones I use most.
ftp://ftp.saix.net/ has some stuff, but most of it is outdated. poorly maintained unfortunately seeing as saix would be awesome for a mirror

I'd do a ping/traceroute to each (unless you know offhand which is closer peered) and select the one with the lowest ping. Usually that will give you the nicest speeds..

Hey guys sorry too resurrect, but I'm looking for a local mirror of pendrive linux?

 

[HavocXphere]

Pooky, I doubt that you'll find that on local...its not mainstream enough.

Does anybody have a working local-only tucows link. The one on the saix page isn't working properly.

Tucows has not worked on local for years now
