Oops.  I guess I should watch those fingers when I try to type
fast. :-)

Thanks Josep.

Just out of curiosity, anyone know the fundamental differences
between apt and urpmi?  I've heard that apt can do dependency 
resolving to more levels but I don't know the specifics.

Also, anyone want to speculate on why Redhat hasn't added
one or the other or something similar?  It really fills a
void in how rpms work and both are GPL...
