[wellylug] Site hosting

[Harry Nicholls]

Hi,
A shame about SF, but I believe they have started rejecting projects
like distributions because of the huge loads involved.
Perhaps one of these organisations could help you:
http://dmoz.org/Computers/Open_Source/Hosting/
Perhaps also consider e-mailing Paradise.net, I know they used to and
may still mirror distributions, that would look after the ISOs at
least.

Good luck,
Harry.
