I'll take the bait. I must admit that in all my years of using slackware I've never, ever, felt the need for a package manager with dependency support (which is what I guess you mean, because Slackware definitely has a package manager. It's even called "installpkg"). I have on the otherhand, loudly and frequently cursed rpm on both redhat, fedora, and suse for being horribly difficult to use at times. I have only rarely used debian, and have never used gentoo so I won't open up those particular flame wars. Vince
