Time to rant about Debian's package management.. it rocks!! It is a very
painless system. apt-get install whatever will download and install a
binary package, and apt-get source whatever will download the source for a
package which you can compile with any flags you may want and then install
as a package so you never have to break debian's dpkg system. It is quite
bomb.
Later,
zman
