Yep... although I'm in springfield, the cable has been up and down like a yoyo since Thursday or Friday... and the times when it HAS been up it's been constantly berrated with CR2 attempts and being massively spammed with ARP packets... *sigh*
While I'm a die-hard debian user, your post is slightly inaccurate.
from apt-cache(8):
search performs a full text search on all available package files for the pattern given. It searchs the package names and the descriptions for an occurance of the string and prints out the package name and the short description. If --full is given then output identical to show is produced for each matched package and if --names-only is given then the long description is not searched, only the package name is.
That's because Joey Hess and Sean 'Shaleh' Perry at VA worked on the boxed set, sometimes called 'Slink and a half' by some...basically it's slink with a bunch of (unofficial) updates.
I tried making a switch to Debian at 2.0(what was that called?) hamm. Now 18 months further down the road Redhat is Actually, we released Debian 2.1, aka slink, in March 1999. Debian handle things like PAM and sysv vs. bsd style init scripts? We use sysv style init scripts (We use/etc/init.d instead of/etc/rc.d/init.d, though) PAM is now in the base system thanks to the hard work of Ben Collins.
There has been a GPL'd mp3 player for some time now. eMusic. http://www.icom.net/~smelecat/emp3/. I package it for debian, and it works quite nice. -- Debian GNU/Linux - http://www.debian.org/
Raster and the debian maintainers tend to wear each other raw rather quickly:) But that's usually just debian policy and raster's way of thinkings brushing against each other...

That shouldn't work, quake 1/2 (and I'm assuming 3test) mmap the sound device...no go with esddsp. I've actually emailed zoid about getting esound support put into quake, but I got no response...I guess when they release the source we'll esd-ify it:-) -- Debian GNU/Linux - http://www.debian.org/
dselect + apt is a useful tool. I like it very much, and I'm not the only one. It manages upgrades well for the most part, and it works. The only problem is the huge amount of packages it goes through in one listing, that could be done better, but I can easily see what new/updated packages there are with it...start it up, view the selections and hit 'oo'. -- Debian GNU/Linux - http://www.debian.org/
Those debs are ancient. Try the ones in slink. imlib-nonfree1 no longer exists - it uses libungif, so there is nothing that keeps it from being out of main.:)

Granted, I don't update them as often as I should. There was a point in time where I made new ones every major commit. That was when I had to hand-hack the source each time to get it to work with the FHS. Has _anyone_ noticed that the debian stuff is IN THE E SRC TREE?! I sent raster that patch for two reasons...a) to make my life easier in making the packages (I just have to do a cvs update, and a dch -i), and b) so people can BUILD THEIR OWN if they want more up to date ones. All I do when I build a package is 'fakeroot debian/rules binary', wait about 15 minutes, upload them to the aforementioned URL, and run dpkg-scanpackages on them so they are accessible via APT. On a related note, I probably won't be doing the E CVS debs much longer. Jules Bean, another Debian developer, will probably be taking over shortly.
You also may wonder why the E CVS debs are not in the main distribution - easy - CVS is for _developers_, not the end user. I don't want to be flooded with bug reports for the latest CVS snap not working, because of an upstream source glitch that was fixed 2 minutes after I built the.debs. E15 is almost ready for release, and when it's released, it'll go into Debian. Simple as that.

Man, I never knew Enlightenment and AI are so closely intertwined... Raster must be trying to take over the world!
