Fwd: Red Hat Linux 9 -- Get it Early

[scottprive at earthlink.net (Scott Prive)]

Just FYI on this old topic:

The "BitTorrent" client has the ISO images available, and the performance is
good considering there's probably a million people downloading right now.
There are clients for Linux and Windows. I'm getting 40K/sec right now...
well short of my 150K/sec capability. This may be due to my upload being
maxed-out
