To follow on (loosely) from the recent topic about a "browser" for
aircraft to make it easier for newbies:

The other way (at least with linux) to accommodate newbies(*) is to
package the sim, its various terrain and scenery, and its aircraft in
RPMs or a similar system.

I just did this with the Colditz Escape Glider - it dovetails in nicely
with the Fedora Core RPMs that I've already made available on:

ftp://tallyho.bc.nu/pub/steve/flightgear/0.9.9

look in the RPMS/noarch directory for the glider package, or the
RPMS/i386 directory for the sim itself.

If a set of packages like these are put on a 'yum' server, it all
becomes pretty trivial for a newbie(*) to obtain what he/she wants
complete will all the prerequisites in a single operation.



(*) More likely, experts who just want to try out the sim and not to
have to understand all the vagaries of FlightGear before doing so.
