Thanks Bill for the perspective. Since I don't know much about RPM's and the like that after the last comment I thought maybe I'm gonna be stuck with the ability only to use apps found at www.debian.org I'm glad that's not the case because that would defeat the purpose of opensource software. Maybe he meant that the files found to be most reliable and require least compiling with debian are found at debian.org Thanks again. Andre'
