I wanted to install a Linux server at my new job. I went to the Ubuntu site, but it wasn't working at all. James told me that it's down because of the new version they released today. Perfect timing… I found that an Ubuntu Releases site works fine, but it needs some data (CSS and other stuff not needed in my case) from the Ubuntu one. I decided to work the problem around.
If you want to download new fancy Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) you have to make your system look for Ubuntu site on your local machine.
sudo vi /etc/hostsEnter „www.ubuntu.com“ after 127.0.0.1 and before old settings which existed before
127.0.0.1 www.ubuntu.com old_settingsNow point your browser to Ubuntu Releases site.
Remember to remove the entry from /etc/hosts as you'll not be able to use Ubuntu site.
PS. I was downloading it at 600Kbps which is good for such a new system.
