Hmmm, not sure about the 'oxymoron' part, I usually associate that with things like 'American Intelligence', but ya, software install doesn't get any easier than: 'Hey, <appname> looks pretty cool!' urpmi <appname> 'Sweeeeeet.' As opposed to (on Windows): 'Hey, <appname> looks pretty cool!' 1. Either shell out a hundred bucks and hope you like it/it works, warez it, or fill out a form with a bunch of fake personal info so I can download a shareware app that doesn't do everything til I pay or find a crack/keygen. 2. Reboot 3. Find out <appname> is laden with spyware, doesn't work, or has overwritten some really important .dll, making the system unstable. ... -- JoeHill Registered Linux user #282046 Homepage: www.orderinchaos.org +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ "Wars such as those which have occurred in Iraq only allow hatred, violence and terror to proliferate." -- Spain's prime minister-elect, Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero
