Re: Linux distro for newbies

    I'm on the Optus 12G cable plan, I'm staying here until (if ever) 
ADSL2/2+ comes out to Boronia, thwen jump on to there with someone.

    my brothers are on internode with lower speeds, but about 25G a 
month or so, I don't know just much higher then I have...

    A few have been trying out http://www.speedtest.net/ for their I'net 
connection speeds...

These are my speeds.. have done better tho..
