FreeBSD Mirror for India

[Rutger Bevaart]

Hello Kapil,

We are connected to TATA / VSNL / Teleglobe and have a public FreeBSD  
cvsup/rsync/ftp mirror at ftp.illian.net already. It's happily serving  
Indian customers for quite some time ;-)

If you'd like feel free to make a CNAME in your DNS.

Regards,
Rutger Bevaart
