Umm... why not use RPM? The tools are all freely available... it's been around for a while... whatever gui's and crap come from linux will work just fine... *it's already a freebsd port*...

Or is this a GPL issue? -- Steve Farrell To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
