Hello,
I have just been checking out the e-smith Linux-based server and gateway
at http://www.e-smith.net
I would like to try it out, but the ~80Mb download would take a terribly
long time over my modem, so I was wondering:
a) Has anyone on the list has already downloaded it, and could lend it
to me so I can make a copy, or
b) Whether someone with fast/cheap net access would be kind enough to
get the image or tar.gz from the net, put it on a Zip disk, and I will
burn a CD for anyone else who is interested. (BTW, my cdr is on a
Windozw machine, so the "alternative" or directorey-based download would
be easier for me to work with.)
Just to stay on-topic, I suppose that when I get around to trying it
out, I could do a review for www.linux.ie ...
Thanks for any help,
Denis
