That brings to mind an opposing point, actually. I don't have statistics to back this up, but my gut says at least 75% of the Linux world runs on RPM-based distros for better or worse. I've found some occasions when running a "non-standard" packaging system meant a lot more work for me. Especially getting politically-incorrect hardware to work. Not enough to give up Debian by a long shot, but I do wish the wRetched Package Mangler would die a quiet death, leaving people no choice but to provide .debs on such occasions. -- Michael McIntyre ---- Silvan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Linux fanatic, and certified Geek; registered Linux user #243621 http://www.geocities.com/Paris/Rue/5407/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
