[CLUE-Tech] Lazy person question

[Michael Robbert]

Crawford,
Yes, I have tried it. I haven't really used Debian before so I'm
a newbie with the command, but it looks pretty good so far. You
can get it from http://apt.freshrpms.net
I think that the only problem is the lack of repositories. There
are a few, but I think that the package selection is limited
compated to Debian.
