*If* you can get through ftp://andromeda.acs.uci.edu is really fast.

I was getting 250KBps when I downloaded Redhat 8.0 :cool:

I think they allow 30 users at night but only 8 during the day.

Finally have 8.0 installed. Sure looks pretty.
My opinion but it seems to run faster than 7.3

Package manager is an interesting change. Makes life easier for me being a newbie to linux.

Now if I can get 128 encryption working so I can get into my bank account life would be great.

I have DF, g@h .99 and F@h 3.14. They run great. I do prefer 3.14 because of the logging. Makes life easy.
What hardware are u running ?
