I think this is a great idea. I have a file server at home where I stick
all the software I've downloaded, some for Linux and some for Windows.
The Windows box accesses the area using samba and Linux uses httpd as
I've set up a local yum repo for the Linux software. So in Niklas' idea
I'd be enabling httpd and smb for this and not ftp.
