I think you have a great idea, we just need the manpower. If anyone on this list is working on this type of thing, speak up and maybe we can help each other out. The ftp part may also be a bit of a problem so if anyone knows of any space we could use that would be great. My MDK rpms are in the planning stage (ie. I just came up with the idea a couple hours ago) and I'm not even sure if it will work. However if I do get working packages I would like to distribute them to interested parties. I was thinking of burning off cds and/or setting up an irc fileserver (just because I had one going but I don't have any use for it). If we had a couple fileservers running on #clug we could spread the load and limit the bandwidth a bit (and prove that fserves are for more than just warez). The thing is that if we don't have people stepping up to the plate then something like this would fail, but it would be real cool if there were people interesting in teaming up. Jesse
