K12LTSP had a R/H 9 apt-get/rsync repository before R/H had R/H 9... 
 still does.. there are others too - certainly enough to collect a 
shiteload of R/H 9 ready stuff here..

IMO, there needs to be a distributed hierarchial database for this sort 
of thing..  ATM there is a big struggle to find an appropriate 
repository, and then there must be 50 or 60 uncachable simultaneous 
connections out of the country to retrieve the same thing.. all BS IMO. 
 Bring ALL OF IT in one time only, and let the database system (viz 
BIND) load-balance it out dynamically.
