[ALUG] Fwd: Re: [eThinkTankTz] Ubuntu Archive Mirror - mirror.aptus.co.tz

[Miku, E. Cornelius]

Hi,

Aptus is not reachable through AIXP at the moment but once AIXP is
connected to TIX it will.

But for Habari users, it is reachable through TIX since Habari is somehow
connected and advertised at TIX.

Regards,
