As far as I know there are only two important ones who do not use Unix regularly for some purposes, though, and they have a very limited repertoire of packages they work on. So we could migrate some packages to arch with the cooperation of their maintainers, the package czar, and a couple of other interested parties. By the time we would be ready to migrate the core repository, arch will be working on Windows as well as on other platforms, I'm pretty sure. -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Ask not how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
