I have heard that the ANU is no longer going to fund sunsite.anu.edu.au
which will increase the costs for all the other Universities as software
is brought in from the US separately for each user. Can't anyone in 
authority see the broader aspects of these policies?

P.S. ftp.miriworld.its.unimelb.edu.au has a Linux mirror at the moment.
This is particularly useful for people in the VRN (Victorian Regional 
Network)
