Bruce,

I've been thinking about you lately. By that, I mean that I have been wondering about Linux users on modem connections.

I've been noting the absolutely huge volume (in MB) of patches for Linux distros which always seem to assume a broadband connection.

It is admittedly a bit off topic for a CentOS list, since CentOS is committed to fidelity to the updates provided upstream.

But I would be interested in your thoughts on the matter. I figure CentOS, Debian Stable, or Suse are the best bet, these days.

Suse, I believe, does binary deltas so you don't have to download the whole package to fix a one liner.
