Mirrors needed for Granular Linux Despite enough bandwidth alloted to our servers, the project website has went down temporarily. Considering this situation, we would be needing additional mirrors for hosting the Granular ISOs in the future. The ISOs are mostly below 700 MB in size, but the DVD version (expected in fall-July or early-August) will be more in size. If anyone is interested in providing us mirrors, please come ahead to do so.
Contact the team through email: team [at] granular-linux [dot] com
