They (duke) are using lighttpd/1.3.13 to serve the DVD and on their fedora / centos mirrors. I am not sure about what OS they are using for their mirrors, as they have a mix of Fedora / RHEL / CentOS servers in http://linux.duke.edu/ , as noted here: http://toolbar.netcraft.com/netblock?q=DUKE-NET,152.3.0.0,152.3.255.255 As a side note, official RHEL 3 and RHEL 4 DVDs are also not download- able via RHN. This is a quite frequent complaint on the mailing lists. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
