Hi all

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

Thanks

This thread helped me find a local mirror for OpenOffice... YAY! Love it!

+1 to helpful search function ;)

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

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ftp://ftp.saix.net/ has some stuff, but most of it is outdated.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?
 
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.
