I've implemented a WebDAV web share for anyone to use including a location to
post those ISO files.

The site will stay up as long as it doesn't get abused and bandwidth consumption
stays reasonable. The site is covertly hosted on my WinXP box running Apache
2.0.43 and mod_dav, mod_auth, and mod_access. It has five megabits dedicated to
it. There's currently nothing in the directory.

The DAV protocol will allow modification to the site with the correct user name
and password. On Linux, the best way to use WebDAV is through Gnome's Nautilus
but you could also use Cadaver.

As always, Microsoft's version of the WebDAV protocol doesn't interoperate with
Apache. But I digress. (I ONLY spent four hours trying to get it to work... but
I'm not mad.) So you won't be able to use MS 'Web Folders' to access it for
those of you on Microsoft at work. Search the web for a graphical DAV client for
Win32.

However, ANY web browser can view the directory through Apache directory listing
and plain text authentication. I would have liked to implement digest auth, but
more DAV clients support basic as opposed to digest.

Anyways, enjoy! This is where the ISO's of the OSS CD will be when it's ready.
