Kevin,

Thanks for the constructive feedback.  That is exactly the kind of input
I was hoping for.  

I think a Win32 installer that addresses some of the issue you and
Micheal have brought up is possible, and I think that a Win32 installer
that is maintained could be good boost for ASSP. It appears that many
Windows Admins out there shy away from it due to the seeming complexity
of the install.

That said, I think you both have brought up some very valid concerns and
there will need to be some more work done on the installer if it is to
be offered as an option from the sourceforge site. 

I would love to see a host of binary install packages created and
maintained. If we could find people to build and maintain Win32, Debian,
Red Hat, Gentoo, FreeBSD, and MAC binaries I think that it would go
along way to making ASSP more widely accepted.  I know people have done
some of these but if we could coordinate them through the sourceforge
site and the wiki it would be great. 

Of course it is really not all that difficult to install ASSP from the
zip files, but doubleclicking an icon, or typing emerge
mail-filter/assp, or apt-get install assp, is of course a whole lot
easier. :-)

Thanks,

Ged
