Ok, Rick, Extra Expletive Deletives don't add any value to your message. Sure those sorts of folks make you want to shoot 'em because of their attitudes.

No arguments about that! My 2 cents worth. I just helped a _new_ linux person with setting up his machine just the other day. He chose to install RED HAT distribution. And to make a long story short, RED HAT _does_not_ keep track of dependencies. It let him install packages without requiring the dependent modules to be installed as well. After I fixed it for him, I can say that inspite of Dselect & Dpkg difficulties, I still prefer Debian (no contest!) I'd like to see a "applications" oriented version of "dselect". I just may write it myself.
