Taneem, forwarding your response to ilug-cal. I think this should go in a bengalinux faq somewhere, eg comparison of pango and freetype and opentype and indix etc. etc. etc. Nice to have people who can give you an answer and then tell you the reason, trust me its not that common, even in science (!) -kg

But what I am not comfortable with is the fact that you won't be getting updates from XFree86. You will be stuck with whatever version indix is providing. Also for glib and gtk+ you will get stuck with inidx's version. That means you won't be able to update any programs that need the newwer versions. That is the biggest draw back of inidx. Having said that, I am not sure how frequently they provide updates. If they lag behind official release of the program (X,glib,gtk,etc) by only a little, then it should be okay. But then again, last source update they have for X is a year old.
