    And im back in the GAME!!!

    Hello All!

    After what seems like ages, ive turned back to TUX and Crew! I gave up on linux 3 Months ago, because the whole 56k Dialup thing gave me nothing but greif! I now have ADSL2+ and have Real download speeds of around 22.9 Mb/s so now i can download and update Nix all i want!!!

    My Proliant has been striped of Windows Server 2003, and has been replaced by Slackware. My Laptop, Previously running XP Pro now runs Ubuntu 5.10 and my desktop has Reverted back to Fedora Core 3. All are running well!!!

    Welcome back, always feels nicer to have your box on ADSL. All the distros you need, all the updates you need and with no winmodem, no need for win

    Starts at AU$60 ~ US$45 with 15gig download limit.

    The national carrier charges a similar price but for only 512Kbit line and similar download limits. And since they have a Monopoly on the exchanges, I can't get decent DSL connection unless I sign up with them. Because of this I had to get a slow (256K) wireless connection from a different carrier.
