Do yourselft a favor next time (and this can be said to anyone who doesn't have broadband), ask the list for someone to download the ISO and supply them with blank CDRs and ask them to burn the images for you. I've done this for people on another list and I'm happy to help out. I'm on Comcast and have achieved a 1Meg/sec download speed with 4 seperate ftp downloads running at once. My main limiting factor is the speed of the site I'm pulling the images from. -- ---- ------ Todd Young -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: Matt Waters <wate0155 at metnet.edu> > Man, all this technical stuff I'm gonna need to remember is making me > mighty glad I'm taking the Linux for programmers class in the 2007 > spring sememster. =) > > I remember someone saying something about how Ubuntu is great as a > desktop distro.
