Wow awesome! I am wondering why I don't have it in Lenny when I search for it. I guess only one person meant tesseract then. Thank you very much for your explanation because now I know there is a deb package. I just have to figure out why I am not seeing it in my version of the distro and maybe download the version from a newer version now. Thanks again for the good details.
