FDB> Tired of d/ling at a busy FTP site???

I'm not trying to steal your market (I love the fact that Linux is now
seeing commercial success!), but I just figured I'd mention that a close
(to the D.C. metro area) and relatively lightly-loaded FTP site exists
in Charlottesville, VA (just down route 29 from D.C.).  It's on a fiber
link to the UVa hub and dual T1's from there to the net at large, so
bandwidth is very good as well.

It carries Slackware (both the installation tree and the source tree),
the kernel sources, the Linux Documentation Project archive, the Linux
security archive (it's the home site), the entire GNU archive, the
Linux/GCC development tree from tsx-11, and several other Linux (and a
few non-Linux-specific) mirrors.  It's also the only U.S. mirror site
for Marc Zyngier's multi-device driver work for Linux and for the PGPerl
package.  All mirrors are updated nightly.

Also, I do take (and in fact encourage) suggestions on additional
mirrors that can be added--so please don't hesitate to make
recommendations!  This server/site has been running for close to a year
now and I'll keep adding stuff as long as I have disk space (of which
there is a considerable amount still free).

The address is linux.nrao.edu (192.33.115.50).
