debian has non-free packages available too.  and pine 4.21 debian
packages have been built and downloadable. (although I donot use pine
any more. try MUTT! )

finds everything needed for installing certain package.

however, if you are a true administrator, you'd like it.  gui
installation of rh6.1: isn't it a joke?

what do you want?  reliability or rushing into something which needs to
fix at the same day of release.

just MHO:)
