on a slight tangent, i'd just like to share that ever since discovering
freshrpms almost 2 years ago, my experience on redhat 9 went from "this
is good" to "WOW. THIS ROCKS".
talk about instant workstation...nothing but fun on my x86 systems.
now if i can get my brand new 1000mhz 12" ibook running some form of
linux...i'll be happy. (i can get console using video=ofonly, but no X,
i even built a 2.6 benh kernel)
many thanks,
