Nope, no suite here. I prefer programs which stick to the old "do one
thing, and do it well" philosophy.

Anymore, when I find things like 8 and 34 MB downloads to get a few of
the latest RPMs, I get sorta nostalgic for the good old days when useful
programs fit on a 360K floppy, and I wrote complex Fortran/assembler
code to run on systems with only 4MB RAM -- or less, and no virtual
