[nflug] New Toy...

[Darin Perusich]

More to share...

If I'm not mistaken you like Debian so your very used to using apt-get 
for package installation. I'd like to introduce you to the joys of the 
Solaris Blastwave.org community and our wonderful pkg-get installation 
tool. Head over to http://www.blastwave.org/ for all the details but 
pkg-get is basically a clone of apt-get, though not quite as 
sophisticated. You can pretty much use it to install nearly any software 
package that you'd use on your standard Linux Distribution.

I've been involved with Blastwave for about three years now, I maintain 
a bunch of packages for the community, though I will admit I've been 
slacking as of recent.

Enjoy.
