I never imagined they had that sort of bandwidth. But looking at the
kernel site alone (which must be accessed less frequently), 302,646kbps
out (that's a huge upstream).
300000 / 1024 = 292mbps / 8 = 36meg/sec.
Given the current size of the kernel (2.6.18), apx 40meg, that's like
one download of the kernel sources every 1.3 seconds or so.
So, there's some pretty dedicated people out there to read the 30 pages
of kernel installation guide. Or perhaps just the 5 lines of script.
