Figured I'd at least try and make the subject close to topic. Correct me if I'm wrong (and someone will), but one of the reasons I thought Debian to be technically superior to RH and co was the ability to use RPMs in addition to deb packages. IOW, it can use any package RH can; just install alien then the package. George -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
