I had a little play with red carpet too. It downloaded and installed a few updates (including a new version of openoffice), but didn't fix the openoffice starting problem, unfortunately.
Looks interesting though. I might use it for a while on my work desktop (my "hobby machine") and transfer it to my home computers (which are, ironically enough, my "production machines") :-)
Never tried red carpet... I just installed it yesterday but dunno how to configure it. When I launch red-carpet I get a window where I should specify a server but I don't have any clue of what to use... suggestion welcome :) Anyhow, I'm currently using apt on SuSE 9.0 and I'm really happy about it: when I do apt install <package name> it gets all the required additional packages that are needed, it highlight conflicts, suggests upgrade or removal, perform the installations, etc. and in addition with Synaptic I have a nice user GUI do do the same things. What are the real advantages of red-carpet (or rug) versus apt? regards, Timur _______________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Win 1 of 4,000 free domain names from Yahoo!
