- Here is the latest list of Public acces BBS's, and FTP Sites that
- carry Linux files. This list was last modified 15 NOV 92.
-
- WHAT'S NEW:
- I've added field's to indicate weather or not the BBS charge's a
- subscription fee to access the files. If you will be able to download
- file's on your first call, and if the BBS allow's file requests.
- Since this is new data I would appreciate feedback and the necessary
- info to update the list.
-
- PLEASE UPLOAD FILES TO BBS'S:
- In posting this list I would like to point out that a large number
- enthusiests don't have FTP access. In fact it is possible that by now
- most of the Linux fan's don't. So I would like to suggest that those
- of us that do, find at least one BBS to post the Linux file's to. I,
- for one post every file that I get to at least one of the local BBS's,
- and from there they the file's tend to find there way to other local
- BBS's. I've seen post's about the future of Linux etc., well here is a
- way to help guarentee it. I think it's safe to assume that most people
- with FTP access also have a modem. So how about doing other Linux fan's
- a favor and finding a BBS to upload the Linux files to.

- Are you new to Linux or do you want to get a good Idea of what a
- Linux system look's like? Then try this system it's running the
- latest version. Here is what the SysOp has to say about it:
-
- /*
- System name: hip-hop
- Software: Linux v0.97pl2 + TCP/IP 0.8.0
- Hardware: 486/33, 16M RAM, 300+ MB HD space, US Robotics Dual
- Standard (V.32bis and HST, 14.4Kbps). DTE rate is
- 38.4Kbps.
- Misc info: I'm carrying almost all sources and around half of the
- binaries (many of those on the FTP sites are obsolete). I am
- personally doing ports of some TCP/IP stuff and X clients, all of
- which are in publicly readable directories. The linux stuff is up
- to date within a couple of days, and it's open for business (no
- fees though) 24 hrs. I'll be giving out individual accounts as
- requested and as disk space holds out.
- X/Y/Zmodem and Kermit are installed and working. Most of the
- popular archivers are also installed and available (zoo, lha,
- zip, compress, etc.).
- Focus: TCP/IP, SLIP, networking, X games.
