What are the best Gentoo mirrors - in terms of network proximity - to that data centres where the Linodes live?

Thanks Peter.

It should be noted, by anyone else reading this thread, the syntax for mirrorselect used in the article is no longer valid.

Rather than the -a option producing a message:

"use of the -a option is deprecated - automatic is enabled by default"

…it just throws an error.

Naughty, naughty Gentoo people!

Cheers

It's been deprecated for a long time now. They notified people when they removed it from the code.

Personally, I think that particular option should just be silently ignored, but they did notify people.
