Below is a list of all the software that you need to download for use in this document. I display the sites and directories where you can download the software, but it is up to you to make sure you download the source archive and the latest version. The version numbers correspondent to versions of the software that is known to work and which this document is going to be based on. If you experience problems which you can't solve yourself, download the version that is assumed in this document (in case you download a newer version). The lists are split up in two parts: Mandatory & optional packages for Intel systems and Mandatory & optional packages for PPC based system.
