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,
