Subject: Linux FTP Site and BBS List #5
Organization: HoloNet (BBS: 510-704-1058)
Date: Wed, 16 Sep 1992 02:21:48 GMT

   Here is the latest list of Public acces BBS's, and FTP Sites that
carry Linux files.  This list is dated 15 Sept 92.

   In posting this list I would like to point out that a large number 
enthusiests don't have FTP access.  In fact it is possible that by now 
most of the Linux fan's don't.  So I would like to suggest that those 
of us that do, find at least one BBS to post the Linux file's to.  I, 
for one post every file that I get to at least one of the local BBS's, 
and from there they the file's tend to find there way to other local 
BBS's.  I've seen post's about the future of Linux etc., well here is a
way to help guarentee it.  I think it's safe to assume that most people 
with FTP access also have a modem.  So how about doing other Linux fan's
a favor and finding a BBS to upload the Linux files to.

Format:
State   BBS Name                Phone Number    Modem Speed
Rating  City                    Other data

Rating System:  1 -- Only enough the most basic of files
                2 -- The basic's and a little more
                3 -- So, so
                4 -- A respectable amount
                5 -- Pretty much everything you need

  Are you new to Linux or do you want to get a good Idea of what a 
Linux system look's like?  Then try this system it's running the 
latest version.  Here is what the SysOp has to say about it:

/*
     System name: hip-hop
     Software:    Linux v0.97pl2 + TCP/IP 0.8.0
     Hardware:    486/33, 16M RAM, 300+ MB HD space, US Robotics Dual 
                  Standard (V.32bis and HST, 14.4Kbps). DTE rate is  
                  38.4Kbps.
     Misc info: I'm carrying almost all sources and around half of the 
     binaries (many of those on the FTP sites are obsolete). I am 
     personally doing ports of some TCP/IP stuff and X clients, all of 
     which are in publicly readable directories. The linux stuff is up 
     to date within a couple of days, and it's open for business (no 
     fees though) 24 hrs. I'll be giving out individual accounts as 
     requested and as disk space holds out.
     X/Y/Zmodem and Kermit are installed and working. Most of the 
     popular archivers are also installed and available (zoo, lha, 
     zip, compress, etc.).
     Focus: TCP/IP, SLIP, networking, X games.

  If you have any additions/corrections to this list please send 
them to one of the following:

             Internet -- healyzh@holonet.net
           CompuServe -- 70332,14
              Prodigy -- SCNN49A
         Fido NetMail -- Zane Healy at 1:109/615
      RIME UNIX Conf. -- Zane Healy

  I would apprieciate it if when you send me info on a BBS that you
send me all the info that you see in the entries, thanks.

 It is my understanding that if you have access to a BBS on 
FidoNet that if you can talk the SysOp into it he can get the 
Linux Files via Fidonet Linux SDN. Contact Greg Naber at S'Qually
Holler BBS (or Fido netmail to Greg Naber at 1:343/200). 

Note:
 If you have a mailer, you can Freq LINUX from 1:343/34 or 
1:152/35 and get a list of the Linux files available at those 
sites.  Also F'Req LINUX.FRQ from 1:377/42, aka 813-689-1150.
