1. I'd like to add smart install to Extras.

- It's written by the author of Synaptic and principal maintainer of apt-get for RPM
- Its a replacement for yum / apt-get / up2date / synaptic / etc.
- It has both a CLI and GUI interface.
- The GUI version is GTK2, and looks exactly like Synaptic (oddly enough being written by the same author).
- It works with Yum metadata repositories.
- Its faster than yum and apt-get as it downloads from multiple sources simultaneously.


It's written in Python, too! Very nice. Thanks for the tip...

Does smartpm support multilib yet?
