Before you considering Debian, please read: * Reasons to Choose Debian http://www.debian.org/intro/why_debian * Debian FAQ http://www.debian.org/doc/FAQ/ * (follow) the debian-user list http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/ I notice that there is no Debian CDROM mirror in UK, but there are many in Germany.

Re: OBSOLETE and DEAD LINKS: http://www.debian.org/CD/http-ftp/
The situation WRT .iso mirrors is quite messed up... Some people use jigdo-mirror and others use rsync (=> different leafnames for the images), some people outside the US make a link from the 1_NONUS to the 1 CD. Some servers are horribly outdated (e.g. still carry potato), others don't carry any images anymore. Myself, I've given up trying to fix this for various reasons - if anybody were to give it a try, that would be splendid! Roughly, steps involved are (all IMHO): - Fix debian-cd to make image names consistent for jigdo and non-jigdo images (difficult, there are reasons for the current state of things...) - Set up a master CD server on a debian.org machine (difficult because not everyone agrees that one is needed at all, and because the people on debian-admin are overworked and have to be persuaded too, etc...), find a way of granting mirror admins access to the master server in a way which doesn't let one person do all the work. - Optional, but very cool: A system which tracks which CD mirrors are up to date. Checking the servers is fairly easy (IIRC Joey Hess even wrote a script a while ago), integrating the info into the web pages less so. - Come up with one standard way of mirroring. Unfortunately, jigdo-mirror was not accepted by most admins, probably because it is "non-standard" and because being a shell script, it might appear to be a hack. - Mail admins to reconfigure their mirror scripts to use the new server. Not difficult, just a lot of work.

I was browsing the list, looking for an explanation: reading your short lines
on the web page I was not sure if I could use the images to install or not .
I suggest you add a date ("on april 20th the installer can't be used to install
testing...") and something like: "_don't_ download these images to install
testing, use the floppyinst instead."
