After less than a week with Debian, I'm simply astounded at the power of the apt pkg managment system. I'm in the middle of compiling KDE3.1 and when I come up with a missing part, apt-cache search, apt-get install and BAM I'm in business. No RPM searches...god what a blessing! Thanks list, for your help to a greatful deb-newbie. Jeff Elkins http://www.elkins.org
