Guys since the server is located in China for some of you the download speed will be extremely low. Therefore you'd better download it via torrent.

Actually i'm quite sure the server is owned by some Ontario ISP. it looks like it, if you ping down.ylmf.org you get some business called nextdimensioninc.com

Plus if it was chinese I wouldn't download from 1MB/s from there. Chinese servers give me like 15% packet loss too and I hit the server with 100 ICMP requests and no loss.

I was interested in this as a joke, and gave it to a friend who needed XP reinstalled... but he enjoys it now because he's not noticing enough of a different that he could complain about.

Thanks boyzee. I've noticed this OS before on Distrowatch, but haven't downloaded and tried it yet. Just out of curiosity, I think I'll give it a try, but Fedora is going to be hard to beat IMHO!

I downloaded the .iso file and burned it to disk, but couldn't get it to boot. This is the first Linux Distro I have had this problem with. Has anyone else given it try yet?
