Bug Description

In openSUSE, they have their "Software Repositories" tool that has this feature called "Community Repositories". What it does is, when you click on it, it connects to a server and downloads a file, then displays a list of the most common repos for the user. The user can just tick the box and click next. I thought it'd be cool is smart had something like that, but distro agnostic. In openSUSE it depends on metapackages and XML. Like this http://svn.opensuse.org/svn/yast/trunk/packager/src/modules/OneClickInstallStandard.ycp I am sure that we could accomplish a distro agnostic version. One where, if you're using Ubuntu, then smart would generate an Ubuntu list. If you're using Fedora, then a Fedora list, and so on.
