Hey, thanks for getting back to me. If there's one thing SourceForge can
provide, it's plenty of space. While ISO's may not be welcome, RPM's
certainly are. I would be more than happy if you decided to release more
RPM's on the site. I don't think ~200MB of RPM's would be too much of a
problem.
Just let me know whatever you guys decide.
Thanks,
JM Walker
