I my oppinion this would be hard to do (make Debian easier without sacrifices). To be technically superior demands certain sacrifices. This is why race cars do not have air-conditioners and cup-holders. You start worying about comfort and ease of use and you end up with a mini-van instead of an F1 car -- or in our case RH instead of Debian. -- Ben Messinger [EMAIL PROTECTED] There are no accidents, only plans other people make and don't tell you about.
