I suppose that I ought to have changed the subject, but then James may not have read it!
I'll do the honours then ;)
James, this is a genuine question. I do not want to start an Apt/Red-carpet war, but I (and others, probably), would be interested in your reasons for being so against (D)Red-Carpet.
Well, I'll just mention I don't use Synaptic, apt from the command line is much quicker. Okay, my beef with RC is a once-burnt situation. I openly admit this is irrational, and RC has changed A LOT since this happened. This is going back maybe four years now, but I installed RC, and set it up to keep my system up to date, and it basically hosed it. Off the top of my head I forget what it did, but I ended up having to reinstall.
