Not really. But nothing's stopping you from taking source tarballs of programs and building and installing them under your home directory, just as you did under Red Hat. (Hint: libraries under Debian are typically broken up into two packages. libfoo contains the files you need to run programs built against the library, but you also need libfoo-dev to build programs. If a configure script is complaining that it can't find a particular library, you probably need to install the -dev package for it.) -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
