+!!!Linux mirrors in New Zealand
-If you'd rather buy these on [CD] or [DVD], check out GettingLinux.
+!!Why use local mirrors?
-Please only download from these mirrors if
you are in NewZealand
, as
many NewZealand hosts get charged for international traffic.
-It is worth getting the latest version of whatever distro
you are after. This is so you get the current features and security fixes.
+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!
-----
+!!Why update?
- ''InNeedOfRefactor: too much clutter
. A lot of information seems
to be out of
date. The raw list added at the bottom seems to list mirrors in too few categories judging by information from the top half of the page. But it's better as a list of "distro/project: mirrors" is more useful than a list of "mirror: distros/projects" if you're interested in finding things rather than informing yourself about specific mirrors. Any suggestions/ideas/updates?'' --AristotlePagaltzis
+Newer versions of [LinuxDistribution]s offer feature updates and security fixes
. It is always worth being up
to date.
