Linux Red Hat 7.3 (Skipjack) released.

The best mirror for linux ISOs is here:

www.linuxiso.org

Trivia:
Did you know there was a RH distro codenamed 'Cartman'?

Dammit, those mirrors don't resume the downloads. I used to DL my ISOs from an ftp server in the University of Alberta. They had resuming capabilities. Right now I found another server from Duke University, but time and again they just erase the files for a few seconds and the operation cannot be resumed.

Does anyone know which server in Alberta's have linux files? Or which server may resume downloads, for that matter?

No luck. Their latest redhat version is 7.1
Guess I'll stick with Duke's ftp server.

Finally got the ISOs on CD. And to my dissapointment RedHat 7.3 (Skipjack) has the buggy kernel-2.4.18-0.4

I dunno... Maybe I'll give it a go and upgrade its kernel to the latest 2.4.18-0.12 version.

Just another note:
Skipjack comes in 5 CDs.
CDs 1 & 2 are completely necessary.
CDs 3, 4 & 5 have the source RPMs and other binaries (development libraries).

If I had known....
