I put forth my listed points (and a few more) at this page: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net/install_from_package
I put it under the off-topic section since it really is off-topic for the list. I invite others to contribute their views to it; perhaps in a section underneath which offers counterpoints and the advantages of compiling directly from source tarballs. I *do* myself compile directly from source tarballs on occasion; but only on test machines (like a vmware session), and for purposes of trying out the software, and only when there isn't a similar package available. -- Carl Soderstrom Systems Administrator Real-Time Enterprises www.real-time.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
