   dont run an own one, that will break the net and people will cry at you.

 * we redirect all mirrors as we have one local and not much bandwith (we will stream live video over the same link), so if you want the real one: edit your etc/hosts or use another dns, but please dont for normal apt-get!

 * whoever needs an account on any work machines provided down in .mx: accounts are given out on request. please mail your gpg keyid to joerg@debconf.org (recheck that address before finally sending the mail! may change!)

Stuff thats always interesting:
