Yes I agree the wiki is a good place to have a catalog of links to sites which contain content. Jeff, I like your site and it has lots of potential. One suggestion might be to have a "freebie only" area so people who do not have any need to dig through non-free content will not have to do so. Jeroen, yes I kind of thought about doing some kind of file serving system built-in to the simulator but not sure it would be wise given viruses and hackers and such. I don't worry so much about that in Ubuntu but the Windows users might be concerned. What about a general web based tool people could implement at their discretion like we do with MySQL vs SQLite?
