At least with Gentoo, however, you know that every package that's installed means a compile of it and possibly dependencies every time there's an update. That means every time you see something on the update list is a chance to remove it, as doing so is almost certainly going to be faster than compiling the update. For things like knode that have been updated several times since I used it once, and where an update usually comes with an update (and compile) of most of the hundred-ish other KDE packages I have installed since KDE bumps versions of all their core packages at once, that's a pretty big cost. BTW, it's unmerged, now, and pan 0.116 is merged. =8^) -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs. "Every nonfree program has a lord, a master -- and if you use the program, he is your master."
