tee hee, synaptic has all of the function i need at the moment, getting 
to grips with other stuff is taking up all my time, like getting my 
favourite windows game to work with linux! tried cedega, crossover 
(didn't expect that one to work tho, really) and vmware... oh well, back 
to rebooting!

One thing i've been meaning to get to grips with is rpmbuild. I've done 
way to many tgz builds to keep track of. If you're interested, check out

Kind Regards.
