OK, I've ftp'd a directory or two of LaTeX macros from
labrea.stanford.edu But e.g., there's no fullpage.sty there, a macro
that I've heard no site would feel complete without.  I checked
ymir.claremont.edu, it's there, but along with gobs of other stuff...
(plus I feel uncomfy with their operating system... ftp's ls -l didn't
give me file dates.)

So I want to know, what are the one, two, three, or four sacred
directories that I should ftp from to feel that I now have the freshest
staples-of-life macros---without going overboard and picking up dusty
musty crusty mistrusty stuff.  What's the rank ordering of holiness of
directories that I should ftp macros from?
