You guys that have come after RPM's are spoiled. Grab the source, compile
and install. Hit a snag? Try to work it out, write the author, or ask on
the mail lists and/or news groups. If you get it working, learn how to
create an RPM and make a contribution to the community, upload it to a
contrib site. 9say imaclinux for instance ;^).
