RPM packages
Hey, everybody! I just want to know, are there any good ftp:// or http:// links that have a lot of open source software? Or do I have to download all the good stuff from different links?
For example, I want to download free rpm packages(like software, other cool FREE things) but each site has its own packages. Is there like an ftp that combines most of these things? Or an http link to all this great stuff? Or I am asking for something really stupid? If I am, please say what you think I should do.
thanks
P.S. Source code will work too. As long as it is downloadable and installable.

your main ones are sourceforge.net icewalkers.com freshmeat.net etc...
btw.. i'd tone down the "i want free things" talk... 99% of any linux software you'll want is going to be free... might as well accept that now.
