A quick scan using Archie shows that none of the FTP sites for Linux
|
|
that it knows about are on the U.S. side of the Atlantic. In the hopes
|
|
of reducing inter-atlantic traffic and reducing the load on
|
|
nic.funet.fi, I've made Linux-0.10 available for anonymous FTP on
|
|
TSX-11.MIT.EDU (18.172.1.2). I will make an attempt to keeps things
|
|
reasonably current.

I've just recently heard about Linux from the Hurd mailing list, and
|
|
from looking at the source code it looks very, very exciting. I haven't
|
|
managed to install it on my hard disk yet (it looks like I'll need to
|
|
blow away OS/2 in order to reclaim one of the four primary partitions
|
|
--- shucks), but just from looking at the source code there are a bunch
|
|
of things which look like interesting projects --- like supporting DOS
|
|
extended partitions and multiple threads per task. Now, all I need to
|
|
do is find some time to do some playing.... :-)
