I suspect the most common case is "how can I get this on _this exact system_", which isn't too hard; but the next most common case is "I need to tell my friend how to get it on his/her system", which leaves me sometimes wondering what the equivalent RPM for some DEB is, or what sort of support there is for Program X on RHEL Y. So it would be really nice if there were some straight-forward way to recognize these equivalencies... but I doubt there is :( ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
