True. In fact, the PINE binary isn't even in the Debian archive, since it does not even qualify for the Debian Free Software Guidelines, not being GPL, but rather released under a restrictive license that prevents binary redistribution. There should be, however, a lot of source rpms for PINE, just as it's available in source form at the Debian archive... That shouldn't be a problem at all, since we have freshrpms.net and rpmfind.net... Cheers, Zakame -- |=-------------ZAK B.
