[WBEL-users] Recent Slashdotting

[Karl R. Balsmeier]

Yes, the mirrors and their associated traffic [jams] pretty much took the
'enterprise factor' out.  A hardship of sorts for whitebox to have to
endure, -but it forced a switch to FC2, so I could run Cpanel, which I was
excited at first to see supported Whitebox.

But during the install, the updates were simply too slow for us/ or Cpanel
staff, to really work with.

Sad, because my earlier machines updated faster, nice and clean builds.

Oh well.
