Hi Keith, I wrote the article and previously the mail on fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx as a reaction on very, very much questions and complaints about up2date / yum failures. There were at least 2 mails per day asking if others see problems too. This especially occured when new kernel and kernel-source packages came out, due to heavily overloaded Redhat servers. > So, why not change the default configuration for the distro, so it points > elsewhere?

If you search this list's archive you will find discussion about development of "artificial intelligent" mirror selection process / setup. > It seems odd to ship something in a test distro that should always be > changed to something else. Or do I need a visit from the clue stick? On a test system you always have to lay your hands on several things - that's why it's called "test" :) [But again, I did not wrote the initial mail and the later article for FC1 users mainly.] > Keith Regards Alexander -- Alexander Dalloz | Enger, Germany | GPG key 1024D/ED695653 1999-07-13 Fedora GNU/Linux Core 1 (Yarrow) on Athlon CPU kernel 2.4.22-1.2174.nptl Sirendipity 22:07:32 up 8 days, 22:26, load average: 0.07, 0.13, 0.16 [ ÎÎÏÎÎ Ï'ÎÏÏÎÎ - gnothi seauton ] my life is a planetarium - and you are the stars
