In this article i’ll show you how to select the best mirror for your favorite distribution.
Debian Netselect-apt is very helpful to find which Debian mirror is the fastest one to download the latest packages or to install ones very quickly.
Is there a Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat software repository mirror that is still online and has all the packages? And, I would like to know what is the size of all the packages for Meerkat.
I am still using Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat.
It's been awhile since I've used ubuntu but switched mainly because Adobe Master Suite CS6 runs flawlessly under wine(ran it under a VM under Funtoo and is my main reason for switch to Ubuntu as Cs6 will not install under Gentoo or Funtoo but works under Ubuntu)
Now usually the xorg.conf is under /etc/X11/xorg.conf, however I don't see it anywhere.. Does ubuntu have it located somewhere else?
I want to mirror a website that will be taken down soon, the problem im facing at the moment is simple -> mirror whole website1 and all links (will be files/images/similiar) to website2 too, so i got a nice "merged" mirror.

I've got a fresh install of Precise Pangolin. I was connected to the Internet during the installation but did not choose to download updates while installing. The computer is now offline and will stay that way.
I have switched to unix from last 3 months and trying to understand install process and in particular apt-get.

It’s going to be a quiet May 1 for openSUSE users and contributors, due to a rare two-disk failure on download.opensuse.org, the central site for accessing openSUSE distribution releases and packages. To work-around the failure, temporarily change your repository URLs using YaST Software Repositories or zypper (or edit the files in /etc/zypp/repos.d) to a nearby mirror.
I'm following this construction to install (version 4.1.2) on a CentOS 6.2 (x86_64) system.
When I use this command
yum install http://au1.mirror.crc.id.au/repo/kernel-xen-release-6-3.noarch.rpm
