Random Numbers in Perl

[Craig White]

c'mon - I think that it's a tribute to their success that their new release
floods their ftp server so badly, that their mirrors have a tough time
getting the updates in a timely fashion.

When I need a specific rpm, I go to valinux's mirror.

The iso's were available from ftp.proxad.net
