Fedora 9 is here!!!

May 13, 2008

At exactly 19:15 IST, in 45 mins from now, Fedora 9 will be available for download.

In addition to our ftp, we have a few reserved rsync access.

If you want special access (For distributing among many people, release party etc etc…) please write to indradg requesting access.

I am sure it will be available from other mirrors too, but given that all are not synced yet and keeping in mind the rush that will be generated, it is highly probable that you have to wait for a few hours if not days.

We all are eagerly waiting for the expected mess up…

Today after a few hours of struggles, I managed to get rsync work.

So Fedora 9 is happily getting synced to my mirror and it will be done by the release time.

For a few days, 4 to be precise, we must keep ourselves offline to get the whole bandwidth.

Though I have marked ourselves “disabled”, people trying to update F8 or F7 may get timeout for next one hour or so.

Sorry for that.

Will come back with Fedora 9. :)

We have got listed in OpenOffice mirror and

after a long time, I have got these back on line….

Usage of http which serves CRAN, Mozilla, OpenOffice and LDP.

Usage of ftp which is for Fedora only.

Cumulatively they are serving over 55G a day. :)
