Being a newbie, I like X when it works. Double-clickind a .rpm will open the package manager, listing deps and other info. All for naught if your installing the nvidia driver for example but easier on the newbie for most other things. I do little cli and most of what I learn leaks away. :( For the fun of it I've made room for a install of Darwin 1.4.1 on the 7300 and should finish building a pc that meets the requirements by the weekend. My first taste of a BSD flavor. Anyone here tried it? Still deciding which 68k mac would be best to try debain on. :) -- MaX-list is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... / Buy books, CDs, videos, and more from Amazon.com \ / <http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect-home/lowendmac> \ Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> MaX-list info: <http://lowendmac.com/linux/max.shtml> Send list messages to: <mailto:max-list@;mail.maclaunch.com> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:max-list-off@;mail.maclaunch.com> For digest mode, email: <mailto:max-list-digest@;mail.maclaunch.com> Subscription questions: <mailto:listmom@;lowendmac.com> Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/max-list%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Macintosh?
