4) The ability to select any disk to use as an additional repository. This feature would be no doubt be greatly loved by those still on dial-up. While they currently have a technique for burning packages to a CD elsewhere, it's not very convenient. 5) An update-notification system. Those using a Gnome/KDE desktop might enjoy having a visible indication that newer versions of installed packages are available. It works something like OS X's Software Update, only less obtrusive. Using a rusty Amiga 4000T, a shiny PowerMac G5, & a homebuilt Ubuntu box Guillotine operator wanted.
