RE: Why do I need to be a %^#$# programmer to use Linux?
Nate,
Your a God among us mere newbies. I pulled down alien, created a deb
package from the rpm and it installed beautifully..
Course, now I am getting hardware problems running digiConf but that's my
area of familiarity!
Thanks again for all of your help!!

as someone else pointed out you can redirect the output which is the
easiest method, I do it this way:
rpm --rebuild filename.src.rpm >&/tmp/rebuild.log
(you won't see anything on the screen until the command completes)
you can go a bit further:
rpm --rebuild filename.src.rpm >&tmp/rebuild.log & tail -f /tmp/rebuild.log
(you'll need to CTRL-C once the rebuild is complete to exit)
