Geezz.

Why go all the way to canberra?
ftp.dstc.edu.au is in line-of-sight of you!! ;-)

It should be very up-to-date.
Jason (& I ... when I was working there) put a lot of effort into keeping it
current, even checking for the latest kernel up to 4 times a day (So don't
let me catch you wasteing international bandwidth to .fi again! ;-)


Btw ... for any of you who read this and do use ftp.dstc.edu.au for anything,
drop jason@dstc.edu.au a thank-you note. We had to setup all of it on our
own time and scrap up hardware where we could. It is a very thank less job.
The few thank-you's we got kept us going. (compared to the hundreds of
"xyzzy.tar.gz is corrupt when I downloaded it in ascii, please fix it!")
