That's a DARN good idea! :-) It'd be nice if maybe the
folks at Linuxberg would release ISOs / CDs of the top 5 or
so pieces of software in each category on one CD.
Unfortunately, it seems to me, that they are always a
couple versions behind. I'm not sure why, either. Plus,
some of the links they have are no good, and I have to go
to other linux software sites to get the current version
and the current home page link.
