I am all for this, it is hard to know what the most current
versions of things are, and is also a pain to have to get 500
different files to make a complete Linux system.  

It would be nice to have a listing of the latest versions of each
part of Linux.  Also, has anyone tried to implement mail for Linux
at all?  especically uucp & local mail?  If not does anyone know of
any possible source to try to port?

Yup.  I have begun pulling down the sources *FROM PREP.AI.MIT.EDU* and 
compiling, and I am *REALLY* impressed.  Everything has been going relatively
well.  I have the following packages completed:

	gawk, bison, make, shellutils, textutils, gnugo, gnuchess

I am currently working on bash, but that is going slowly.  I am waiting
with baited breath for the Adaptec SCSI drivers since I only have 40Meg of
IDE, and half a gig of SCSI..  I am running on *VERY* limited space right
now.  I never realized just how big the GNU stuff really was...

Anyone wanting to work on parts, please let me know so we can coordinate!
