Thanks to pclouds for sharing this link with me. I heard rumors about it but finally there is a FPT-sponsored Linux mirror in Vietnam. That is great news!!! Even better, the mirror is FAST! I am installing Django as we speak. Django was downloading at 635K/s, an amazing speed for Vietnam. The fastest I ever downloaded for Gentoo packages was around 490K/s with Viettel over 3 and a half years ago.
It is nice to see a Vietnamese company supporting Linux in Vietnam. GHP Far East and Vscapeone also sponsor a BSD/Linux Mirror of their own and now maybe Quang Truong’s ISP will consider helping us host more open source repositories as well.
FPT Vietnam Linux Mirror: http://mirror-fpt-telecom.fpt.net
The future looks bright for open source and BSD/Linux in Vietnam 🙂
I tried the mirror and it’s pretty incredibly fast…
Kevin, I think the url you provided for the indochinalinux ftp is not working.
ftp://ftp.indochinalinux.com/
Is FPT a big telcom in Vietnam?
It’s not only for Linux, I found other popular free softwares there too, such as: OpenOffice, Mozilla, Opera, etc.
This is the first nice gesture that I’ve seen from FPT 🙂
Hum….
I can’t find this, can’t connect this mirror.
I can’t see anything.
Where is the correct site, BSD mirror…
