I think the following should be changed on the kernel.org web site?
In "New to Linux?" Section
Note, however, that most distributions are very large,
so unless you have a _very_fast_Internet_link_ you may want
to save yourself some hassle and purchase a CD-ROM with
a distribution; such CD-ROMs are available from a number
of vendors.
I don't think that "very fast internet link is a good way to describe
what is meant?
Maybe we should tell them how large the distrubution are (650mb and
more) or
instead we could say say that we recommend above a certain bandwidth.
The confusion is as follows:
I have a good cable connection (~5mb/s) but I wouldn't consider this
"very fast" because
I know of much faster connections. Would this scare me away from
downloading Linux
or even using it at all? Probably.
Just thought it's best to be clear.

Good point. That was written in 1997 or so, and isn't really accurate
anymore.
