Thanks Robert, Your praise/criticism mirrors my own reasons to use Debian.

Probably Debian but maybe a roll-yer-own like SourceMage. I haven't decided how to GUI-up a mythTV box yet.

Thanks for the Squeeze info. Lenny sounds like the branch for me. As for package management, it sounds like the fink discussion is hinting that a decent package managing system is in place for FOSS on Mac. Does OSX have a decent package system for its native programs? Ever since finding apt-get and it's verious front-end GUIs, I've been pining for the fjords?....er uh, pining for something similar on the WinDoze half of my computer. Any bets or inside info whether Micro$oft will ever do something useful like this with WinDoze Update and/or M$Installer? -- Mike F. 801.369.7448
