OK, cool.  After I got back from class I burned CD 1 for you.  I'll burn some 
more copies for anyone else who is curious about Mandrake.

games.gci.net has a lot of cool stuff on it, and (especially if you have a GCI 
cable modem) is a very fast link.  One of the sysadmins for it is a regular on 
the aklug list.  I get my OpenOffice.org downloads from there.  I don't know 
any of the details on how games.gci.net was started, who pays for it, etc.  I 
just know it's there.  (And I'm not even a gamer!)

There are some other Alaska mirrors.  The Alaska Linux Users Group has a mirror 
at ftp.aklug.org, which I believe is currently hosted at the UAA library.  (At 
least the mailing list is there, don't know about the rest.)  The latest RedHat 
and Slackware are there, and it looks like the latest FreeBSD as well.

The UAF Linux Users Group also has a mirror, at linux0.cs.uaf.edu, but your 
best bet is to connect to that on the UAS campus.  It can get pretty slow once 
you get off campus.  Off campus, I get to the point where the connection to 
137.229.25.160 just dies...  If you're a student though, it's cool.  The lab 
machines have CD burners, so bring some blanks and spare time.

There's probably a few more Alaska mirrors that I don't know about.


Cheers,

James
