This is *so* very cool. word to the wise. do some reading and get a knowledge of the differences between "etch" and "testing" and "stable" and tracking the various flavors of deb. As you are a new deb user, may I respectfully suggest that you set up apt to track "etch" and not "testing" at this point. current "testing" is about to become the "etch" stable release and so if you track "Etch" you will likely face little breakage at this time. however, if you track "testing", then when "etch" becomes "Stable" you will likely face lots of churn and breakage in the "testing" branch. not fun for someone unfamiliar with deb. there are many discussions/wars about this topic in the archives of this list with many analogies to help someone understand this topic. > >> > >>Well done any developers who read this - thanks for building this: this > >>is a rush!!
