I think you meant Smart not Synaptics. Smart is still available in the Mandriva repos. <rant> I just love these kind of pointless threads. I still haven't seen any arguments why rpm,urpmi and rpmdrake are bad or what would be gained by switching to deb, apt, synaptics or whatever gizmo of the day. However, what I *can* see is that most of these "arguments" (or lack of thereof) stem from GUI preferences of individual people, not any technical merits of one system or another. Making decisions with profound impact isn't going (hopefully!) happen on who is the most vocal person, so please - either provide real arguments, or stop this pointless discussion. Even better, just stop it, because this topic was rehashed ad-nauseam on Cooker several times already and I do not see what we gain by producing more useless e-mail traffic. </rant> Many thanks, Jan
