It would be neat if there was some sort of package manager that allowed you to build a package from source (like emerge) and let you build it into a package (like apt) but then allowed you to open up your local repository for others to use. This would create an p2p style mirror network. If I knew my friend had a package I wanted, that was tuned how I wanted, I could grab it from him instead of grabbing it from a mirror. I predict that large mirrors like ftp.osuosl.org will be replaced with some sort of p2p mirroring network in near future. The total collective bandwidth alone of home users is huge!

It’s small, crude, and not all that creative, but it was commited! One down.

I have been working on getting pure 64bit linux on my newest toy. The machine is a dual 2.5ghz G5 (powermac7,3) , radeon 9600 XT graphics card, and a 20″ Apple aluminum (ALU) cinema display. So far the hardest piece has been getting xorg to work. Hopefully google will find this for someone who needs it.
