Hmmm.... I was reading a debate on linux.debian-www (?) between Joey
(see shy jo) Hess and... uh, wossname, it's completely escaped me.
Anyway, it seems debian-www and debian-cd are working at cross purposes
over this very subject: the difficulty of locating ISO's. Hess seemed
very hot about this and was interested in clearing up the hard path to
finding up-to-dated Debian ISO's.
