FYI. Reported as non-accessible by several posters on the ubuntu technical list. Apparently being blocked by OpenDNS and some other DNS services. It worked for me, but I have uVerse in California.
32-bit ETA?

Does SnowLinux Mate caries the spyware LIBZEITGEIST from Ubuntu? Is it installed as a dependancy for Totem main plugins? Is it installed by default?

I want to download Snowlinux 2 "Mate" 32-Bit but the link is not available because the OS has to be repackaged. Is there an estimated time when it would be available for download? Thanks.

I have been using Debian 6.0 and Ubuntu 10.04 for my main system for a long time. I felt boxed in since they both use Gnome 2. I refuse to migrate to Gnome 3 and feel the release of the Mate 1.2 Desktop is a very good thing. Mate is very stable and coupled with the latest Ubuntu 12.04 release this is an excellent package. I now have it configured and running as my primary distribution. Mate is easy to configure and I can see little difference from the real Gnome 2.X.
