Anyway, here's a typical case. $ apt-cache show flightgear ... Description: Flight Gear Flight Simulator Flight Gear is a free and highly sophisticated flight simulator. . This package contains the runtime binaries.
OK, 40 MB download and install later we learn via some readmes that one should go to the web site to learn how to use it etc. Good thing I had it on a CD or else my modem would have xxxx.... I would first like to get more than those two lines of description before committing to a 40 Mb download. Let's say I was commercial software. would I want to throw the user to the winds of a google search to find my website? Sounds flakey to me... $ apt-cache show emacs oops, sorry $ apt-cache show emacs21 Description: The GNU Emacs editor. GNU Emacs is the extensible self-documenting text editor. well, excuse me. Why of course. That's nice. anyway, all this is meant for the In-club members, not newbies. -- http://jidanni.org/ Taiwan(04)25854780
