Synaptic can apparently handle all the popular packaging formats, so comments in a dpkg & debs world are no more/less applicable than in an rpm world. All have dependency lists, and maintain a 'whats installed' database, that is, in a broad overview, the same thing at the end of the day. I'm on this list primarily because I do have one machine running a debian variant, its the home of my emc install. >Kind regards, >Philipp Kern -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
