Hi all.
I noticed that iso images of slackware 9.0 don't seem to be on the web anywhere.
Is slackware only selling cd-roms now, and not providing the iso images for free download anymore?
Thanks.
Greg

The fast mirror I usually get Slackware from, (ftp.slackware.at), was down when the iso was released. I haven't checked to see if it is back up. Just a warning: due to the release of the 9.0 iso images, most if not all of the mirror sites may be much slower than usual.

I can give you the URL, but I would rather do that as a last resort, simply cause my site is so much slower than most of the mirrors out there, and it will take a considerable amount of time to download, (approximately 4 to 5 hours, if I am calculating correctly.) However, it is guaranteed to work. Just let me know if you need the URL to my site.

On most of the slackware mirrors, but the servers are so loaded down you're gonna have a fun time getting them. Hope you got a broadband connection, because if you're stuck with 56K (like I am) you probably don't have a chance for another month or so when all these broadband users get done grabbing there isos. The best URL seems to be the one on planetmirror which was given here earlier, but as I said... good luck getting ahold of it. Of course, if you want to, you can make your own iso image (instructions are found in isolinux/README.txt on slackware 9.0 mirror sites).

The problem with cable can be, that you have to compete with everyone else on your network segment for bandwidth. There is no such problem with T1s. Talk to me if you need a quote on the cost, etc., of a T1--I can price one for your area, and can usually get good rates. Some of what you might be seeing, however, may be the lags of the remote sites.

Think I should do it? Just to keep this on topic, How would that effect my linux box? Cable is auto-detected under both windows and linux. Adsl, though, tipicly comes with proprietary software that establishes connections, and they don't seem to like linux too much. I know it's possible, just need a pointer in the right direction.

T1, and cable are two totally different technoligies. T1 is dedicated bandwidth and is symetrical, where as ADSl and cable asymetrical. For example, right now I'm on a 1.5mbps/256K ADSL line. I have no problem accessing 700Kb RealMedia streams, even can select the T1 option on various kinds of streaming media from my Winblows box. In all though, it depends on what speed the site or service you're trying to connect can have, and whether they use QoS (quality of service) data to limit bandwidth to certain daemons. i.e. httpd, ProFTPD, etc. Hope this helps. - --Erik - ----- Original Message ----- From: "monte single" <mrsingle@shaw.ca> To: <speakup@braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Saturday, March 29, 2003 10:49 AM Subject: Re: t1 versus cabel/modem > Thanks for the details, i'll stick with the cable. > > Bear in SFO wrote: > > > If my memory serves me, cable actually runs at T3 speed but you will have > > to share with your neighbors...

Of course, your results will certainly vary from site to site. It is also the case that many of these sites require "show pictures" to be active in your browser in order to provide a report, since they upload and download images in your browser as part of the testing they perform. If you have Windows 2000 or XP, then you can take a look at some of the counters available under Administrative Tools in the control panel. Specifically, you're looking for "Performance Logs and Alerts" or just a shortcut to "Performance" in the case of Windows XP. You can use ifconfig and various related tools in Linux to obtain the same type of information about the amount of input and output over Ethernet interfaces.

* Re: t1 versus cabel/modem ` Gregory Nowak ` NAT with iptables Peter Bossley @ ` Darrell Shandrow 1 sibling, 0 replies; 37+ messages in thread From: Darrell Shandrow @ UTC (permalink / raw) To: speakup Hi Gregory, Well, you can use ifconfig to get very basic information, such as the aggregate numbers of received and transmitted bytes and packets. From that information, you could calculate bandwidth used. If you are running Red Hat Linux, their copy of the ifconfig utility permits you to view the status of all interfaces by simply typing /sbin/ifconfig and pressing enter. If you want information on a specific interface like eth0 (the first Ethernet interface) then type: /sbin/ifconfig eth0 If you run another distribution, you may need to type something like the following to view the status of all interfaces: ifconfig -a I'm sure there are many other ways to do all this. I haven't used them in awhile now. Darrell Shandrow - Shandrow Communications! Technology consultant/instructor, network/systems administrator! A+, CCNA, Network+!

When a client tells me they're experiencing slow performance on the Internet, I ask them for more information. Does it affect all sites or is it noticed on specific sites? If specific sites, which ones? If it is noticed across the board, are there any patterns? A specific time period? These questions can be important to help isolate the problem.

And even reinstalling Winblows on a clean hard drive from the actual Microsoft-issued CD didn't help. Winblows systems just must be very hard to configure for maximum throughput.

Lininger @ UTC (permalink / raw) To: Speakup List If you go to one of the ftp sights, you can still download the files needed to install slackware 9.0. However, it seems an ISO image is not currently available. If you want one, I have created a CD with the installation files. I will send you the image or we can arange for you to pick it up from my FTP server if you like. Let me know. -- Joseph C.
