Well, if it was written in Ruby, I might :-)

Thanks for a very cool tool.

BTW, I see in the Debian news that the Progeny gang have:
(a) ported anaconda to debian, and
(b) implemented RPM support inside apt. 

Wonder if they're going to support yum as well? We might well end up
with the linux family reunited again! (Well, there's always black sheep
like Gentoo :-)
