Currently I am running F9 on this box. (Don't hate me! I am just forcing myself to learn the RHEL way of thought, and I hate every min. of it.) But to be honest, This thread makes me want to re-install Sid on this box (the one I use the most) just so I can poke at aptitude ncurses again. I hope you know that mostly I was poking fun and not serious, except for the part about aptitude (ncurses) not working the way I think, that is serious, but it reflects badly on my short comings, not your code. Thanks for taking the time to write it in the first place and for upgrading it. With you you guys, Vista would feel warm and fuzzy. > > -- Damon L.
