Perhaps you would prefer a rolling release Linux distribution such as Gentoo or Arch Linux instead of Ubuntu. (I don't know if there are any apt-based rolling release distributions, but it wouldn't surprised me greatly. Also note that Gentoo's Portage is a lot like MacPorts; both are derived in concept from *BSD's ports system, although they take the concept in somewhat different directions. -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates [email protected] [email protected] unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net
