LQ ISO updated - now GeoIP aware


LQ ISO has been updated. As the title indicates, it's now GeoIP aware. What does this mean for you? When browsing LQ ISO for mirrors, ones that are in the same country as you will now appear first. Additionally, the main link which was random before, will now be randomly selected only from the country you are in. Of course, the full list of mirrors is still available so you retain the choice to pick whichever mirror you'd like. Thanks again goes to david_ross who has been helping more and more with the coding around here.

A few quick additional notes:

1) As always, if you notice any bugs or have a feature request, let us know.
2) If you notice your favorite mirror or distribution version missing, please use the "Suggest Additions" link and let us know so we can add it.
3) I did give a sneak peak announcement about this on the LQ Podcast (and I'll likely continue to do so), so you may want to listen to it
