    Hey People,

    I've got an idea that I thought I might bounce off of all of you.
    After being a lurker of this newsgroup and others, I have found a single
    major complaint from newbies, and that is dependencies. So I figure
    that I might setup an ftp server that has some common utilities
    (Audio/Video players, file sharing, etc...) and their dependencies in
    one easy to find location. I know it slightly goes against the moduluar
    theory behind Linux, but I think that can suffer slightly if we can
    retain new users by softening the learning curve.

    Right now I'm looking into good, relatively cheap hosting services that
    will get the job done, so I would appreciate any helpful hints. And I
    only plan at first to support the Red Hat distro, mainly because that is
    the only distro I know, but I would be open to adding other distros if
    others are willing to help me with it.

    Tell me what you think.

    Cheers,
    CMF
