(even with a graphical frontend like > Synaptic) Nice idea, it is like Debian, Gentoo or *BSD but i see a problem: There are still a lot of modem and ISDN (in Germany) users out on the net. For those people it is impossible to use apt/yum etc. to install big things like KDE or GNOME. They still need CDs/DVDs to simple install packages without waiting for weeks until all packages are downloaded. I think there must be a distro which has more than one CD. regards André
