Greetings all- Over the years, I've become incredibly spoiled by 'packages.debian.org' which allows me to search for a package, view it's description, download it, see dependencies, see similar packages, etc... Does such a site or resource exist for CentOS? Tim Nelson Systems/Network Support Rockbochs Inc. (218)727-4332 x105

If there is real interest in something of this nature, I can prolly export something like this using a small sinatra.rb app - would someone be willing to help with the ui stuff ? - KB
