Hi,

A friend of mine from India is interested in changing from W$ to a unix flavour.
I recommended FreeBSD, but then discovered that there's no ftp server within India
for downloading the OS. Are there some legal issues there?

India is the second largest populous country in the world with possibly the highest
potential on software development. But not even one FreeBSD ftp server!!

No one interested there to set up an ftp.in.FreeBSD.org server?
Or is the FreeBSD community in India simply too tiny?

Regards,
Rob.
