I checked on upgrading to business class DSL so I can stop violating my TOS. Price wise it's fine. BellSouth is running a deal I can get 6Mbit DSL for $30/mo+tax for a year, which is cheaper than what I'm paying now. The downside is it only gets me 512kb up. >> If we can get distributed building working though, I might be willing >> to upgrade my service a bit. >> >> I'm proposing we start working on a package, called something like >> "rpmfusion-builder" to make setting things up as easy as possible. >> >> Can someone (Jarod?) reply with a summery of what's involved in setting one >> up? > > Can't entirely recall. There's not a huge amount to it though.

If so I'll have to run it in a virtual machine which adds a layer of complexity. Richard
