Are there any alternative mirror?

I was just informed that the primary Trinity mirror server at
http://mirror.its.uidaho.edu has been taken offline permanently. As a
result, most TDE binary files and source tarballs are currently
unavailable for public access, as the secondary mirror seems to be set up
to point to the (offline) primary as of 12/20/2011. All files are intact
locally; this is a temporary mirroring failure ONLY.
I am working with the remaining mirror maintainers to resolve this issue.
Once the mirroring system is back online, any problems encountered should
be reported immediately to the trinity-devel mailing list.
The Trinity project would like to thank the maintainer of the defunct
uidaho.edu server, Dave Lien, for providing our primary mirror for the
past couple of years. This mirror server was the fastest and most
reliable of the entire system.
This event leaves the Trinity project in need of several new mirror sites
to ensure reliable operation. If you have an unlimited, fast connection
and want to provide a mirror for TDE, please contact Timothy Pearson at
kb9vqf(a)pearsoncomputing.net You will need to be able to schedule an rsync
pull via cron on a 24 hour interval to be able to provide a mirror.
Thank you for your understanding while I sort out the remaining issues!

Hallo,
first, I am new to this list and I like to say: "Thank you for Trinity!".
We recently changed to Debian Squeeze and are happy to be able continue my work with my
old desktop configuration,
but the break down of the server caught us in the wrong moment.
Just in the process of installing Debian on our machines.
There is a german mirror mentioned on the contributors page on www.trinitydesktop.org
provided by Jens Dunzweiler.
Is it useable and where can I find it?
Greetings

Just as well I kept my apt-cacher-ng archive!
Unfortunately the mirror.tokra.lv redirects to mirror.its.uidaho.edu
While the mirrors are down (hopefully not too long) it is still possible
to install Squeeze/TDE using a live-cd
http://exe-linux.fastfishwebsolutions.com/trinity/
This is not an "officially supported" method (but it works)

May I suggest you give a look to Mepis? It's not only KDE 4, it's the

a good second best at the time, IMHO.

I have Mepis set up on a netbook and KDE4 is quite tolerable. it does

I also hear that there is a KDE3 update someone has made for OpenSuse.
it will be hard to kill KDE3 though the impression I am getting is
that KDE4 is 'evolving' ('revolving'?) in the direction of KDE3.
a further observation about Mepis: it seems some settings cannot be
changed from the gui interface, for instance, mouse and touchpad
control. it seems one has to grapple with the commandline for that.
don't know if this is a gap in my setup or part of the KDE4
philosophy.

"A" is a herculean understatement. openSUSE KDE3 repos seem to get updated no
less often recently than they were while still officially supported. I run
KDE3 on about as many openSUSE systems as I do KDE4, but KDE3 gets the most

That's only the default. It is not compulsory. And there are four on my
Debian machines, 0, 1, 2, 6. I know that the rpm distros use different
runlevels - e.g. run-level 5 is the equivalent of Debian run-level 2 - but
surely they only have the same number of levels by default, just with
different numbers allocated to one or two of the levels? Extra ones can be
added in both types of distro. 0 and 6 are surely the same. And I thought
that 1 was too, but it is several years since I looked at this, so I may be
wrong on that.

When i could use

Maybe, i have an other solution ?

When I say Debian has "two runlevels" I mean two "run" (continuously
running)
levels, and don't count halt or reboot as run, leaving Debian with only two
"run" levels by default, single vs. everything. I never found any convenient
+ universal way to customize Debian runlevels, and since I have many systems
to deal with, I prefer distros with more operational segregation by default,
which is a distinction of most non-Debians. I don't like that to have
multiuser with networking to have X also defaulted. It makes X repair when
necessary more complicated, particularly to describe to someone needing
generic X repair help.

from the gui interface, for instance, mouse and touchpad control. it seems
one has to grapple with the commandline for that. don't know if this is a
gap in my setup or part of the KDE4 philosophy.
I'm running a near-default Mepis install, and the usual options (right/left
handed, reverse scroll direction, double/single click to open, pointers,
touchpad on/off, tapping etc.) are showing up for me in KDE4's System
Settings > Hardware > Input Devices along with the Keyboard & Joystick
controls.

:-( I have just decided that as I can't have
Trinity on a fresh install
: for
the moment, I should look at KDE 4. After all, perhaps I shouldn't
condemn something out of hand and permanently. Fortunately it is in a VM
and easily removeable. I shall just get rid of the whole VM and start
again. It is GHASTLY. Far worse than I remembered. So, pending the
reopening of the mirrors, I shall have a look at Lubuntu.
May I suggest you give a look to Mepis? It's not only KDE 4, it's the
implementation thereof, and Waren has chosen very sensible settings
that make his implementation fairly good - not as good as Trinity, but
a good second best at the time, IMHO.

Linux Mint is worth a look. I have Mint 11 Debian Edition in a VM, as my work
environment. While I miss some of the KDE3 features, it's a very usable GNOME
2 environment.
Mint 12 is Ubuntu based, but without Unity. it has 3 main options, GNOME 3
with MGSE (Mint Gnome Shell Extensions), regular GNOME 3 and MATE. MGSE is
supposed to give it a similar feel to the old GNOME 2 and MATE is a
continuing GNOME 2 development (Trinity for Gnome?). I have had a quick look
at Mint 12 and it seems nice, but I haven't done more than kick the tyres.

I have a couple machines I need to install ASAP.
Unfortunately the mirror system rebuild is still in progress. I would not
expect access to be restored before Jan. 1st.
