If I sounded like I was complaining, I wasn't. I'd rather wait and have well
done packages than have quickly chucked together ones. That will be good if
those packages are ready one the day of 3.0.1 release. They seem to wait for
Suse, mandrake, etc, why can't they also wait for Debian to be ready for the
release. :-) Thanks,
David
