So people who find Linux difficult are quasi-computer-illiterate. That's
an interesting viewpoint. I find Linux difficult. See my next email.
Anyway my gf started liking linux when she found out all the standard
card games, which came for free!
Another plus was that every time someone saw my matrixGL xscreensaver
hack they would invariable ask
where they can get it from for their computer. Being able to reply
"Sorry, that's for linux only!" made her
feel good about not using windows.

different distros have different dependencies for the same rpm.
Precisely... and that's where the main work lies. They *could* make RPMs
distribution-independent. It would take some coordinated effort though.
BTW.... the added traffic on this mailing list is a welcome change.
LOL yes. One moment it's as if the list was lifeless, the next a zillion
new messages fall on my mailbox like a nice soft feather tied to a
truckload of bricks.
