Tell me what kind of support you consider necessary for a "distro offering" and I'll implement it. You know I've been working hard to make everything work perfectly, and that even though it's not yet completely polished due to its incipient life, the project is in a quite advanced state, and have many advantages over APT-RPM and others. -- Gustavo Niemeyer http://niemeyer.net
