Whyfor? RPM can be installed on Debian, and dpkg can be installed on
Red Hat. Getting the dependancies might be a pain, but it can be done.

heck, worst case, we "bootstrap" a debian into a chrooted environment
similar to how HURD is installed. I'm willing to try it *grin*

Which is why I'd rather have a box per arch. I looked at the
cross-compiling docs, and it just looked evil.

All we need is a hub and another machine...

Cool. How difficult is it to set up?

I've got family in town all weekend next week. Perhaps the week after?
