## What this mirror is for

Turkish and European users, and anyone nearby on the network, can install and
update Linux systems from a local source instead of pulling from distant servers.
Package managers (apt, dnf, pacman) and rsync clients connect directly.
Files are copied unmodified from the official upstream sources; users should
still verify downloads with each distribution's own GPG signatures and checksums.
