In this context I intended generic to mean plain, bland, nonspecific, uncharacterized, or maybe undifferentiated. Lacking a great word I just said generic. It isn't country specific. It could be anywhere in the world with a name like that. If it can be anywhere then Murphy's Law says that it will be located in the worst place for you to use. > but, although it is from a couple of > years ago, some advice on using ftp.debian.org is at > > http://wiki.debian.org/ftp.debian.org Good advice!
