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!
Newer versions of LinuxDistributions offer feature updates and security fixes. It is always worth being up to date.
Most modern distributions support automatic updating, so please check the page for your distribution.
If you are a Debian or Ubuntu user; see AptSourcesList.
