If you have Debian installed, and the necessary deb-src lines in your sources.list, then "apt-get source <package>" will do the deed. If not, a quick look around under http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/ turns them all up - for each package you'll find a foo-version.orig.tar.gz, which are the upstream sources, and a foo-version.diff.gz to 'debianize' the sources. As to the installer, check the archives for a recent, and rather lengthy thread, named simply "debian". Almost all opinions and viewpoints have already been discussed in some length. In short, FreeBSD caters for x86 - Debian (Stable) released to 11 architectures (and there's more in the works: http://www.debian.org/ports/ ). The complexity is directly releated to the complexity of the task at hand. Regards, Shaun. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
