Anyone want latest Debian?
by Satya 15 Jan '03

15 Jan '03

I __may__ be coming to Mumbai in the next month. Anyone want the latest Debian? Or Redhat or whatever -- I can bring stuff which has ISO images available (and legal only, so don't ask for XP). I'll bring Debian for my box in Mumbai. It's 3.0r0 from an HTTP mirror in Austria. Or do we already have that? If I can borrow someone's installer for the latest stable Debian, I won't bring it along. -- Satya. <URL:http://satya.virtualave.net/> All generalizations are false, including this one.
