| 2 | |||
| 3 | !!Why use local mirrors? | ||
| 4 | |||
| 5 | Many broadband internet plans give you free local traffic; check with your [ISP]. Unfortunately, the converse is also true; many NewZealand hosts get charged for international traffic. We have linked to a distribution mirrors page where possible; if you are outside of NewZealand, please check that first! | ||
| 6 | |||
| 7 | !!Why update? | ||
| 8 | |||
| 9 | Newer versions of [LinuxDistribution]s offer feature updates and security fixes. It is always worth being up to date. | ||
| 10 | |||
| 11 | !!Doesn't my distro do all this for me? | ||
| 12 | |||
| 13 | Most modern distributions support automatic updating, so please check the page for your distribution. | ||
| 14 | |||
| 15 | If you are a [Debian] or [Ubuntu] user; see AptSourcesList. | ||
| 16 | |||
| 17 | !!Can I buy these on [CD] or [DVD] instead? | ||
| 18 | |||
| 19 | Sure; check out our GettingLinux page. | ||
| 20 | |||
| 21 | !!What if a mirror doesn't work? | ||
| 22 | Work your way down the list from the top. You might have make sure your reverse [DNS] lookup ends in .nz. | ||
