I think a lot of rpm's you see out there suck. One of the reasons I dig Debian so much is the .deb packages are so great, and because they (generally) (un)install themselves really well. The same can't be said of rpm, I think. All I know is I was pissed off when I was using .rpms with Redhat, and when I started using dpkg on debian, I was very pleased. And still am. > It *does* kind of suck. It does annoy me also when you can't get the latest whizz bang version of e.g. Eterm, but at the same time it's a great incentive for us to get up off our butts and start maintaining them ourselves. regards etc. -- Vincent Murphy | UCC CompSci Student | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | +353 (086) 8397405
