[FSUG-Bangalore] Download

Hi  George,

If you have GNU/Linux system, you can run a  cron job with wget to download
the distros automatically. but for that the laptop should be on. i am not
sure how to automatically turn on the system at a particular time but i am
happy to get a pointer for that.

Regards
