Hi,

I recommended FreeBSD to a friend of mine in India
and discovered to my great astonishment that there's
no mirror site in India, at least none is listed
on the official FreeBSD mirror site:

http://www.freebsd.org/.../handbook/mirrors-ftp.html

I would have expected several mirror sites there,
with India becoming one the software development
centers in the world.....

Is nobody or no institute in India interested in
setting up a FreeBSD mirror site? Or is (Free)BSD
an unknown/unused OS in India.

For comparison: China has 2 mirrors, Taiwan has 16,
Korea 2, Japan 9, Indonesia 1 and HongKong 1.
India has none!

Regards,
Rob.
