Cheers, Sheldon. As I understand it, Mandrake is incorporating apt into 8.0, so this process is already underway.

So 8.0 packages are apt-get capable but definitely not debs. Civileme/QA Will it check for dependancies and get those packages also? If so as long as someone uses an "official" mirror and sticks to support packages shouldn't they be ok? Jerry
