Boston Linux Meeting Wednesday July 19, 2000 Linux as your only machine

And a huge file at that! I tried to download it on my 56K line and gave up after a
half hour of the 2 hours I would have needed to complete it.

Is it any good? It might be nice if we ever have the impetus to do so to create a
list of software reviews. And yes, I might be willing to build such a system for
BLU.org ONCE I get a better handle on building the pages and databases and address
any copyright issues. And maybe get a faster connection if they ever find their
way to the boondocks.
