both hugs and ghc in their Linux distro *as standard*. This could significantly help Haskell takeup amongst the unwashed masses. :-) Well, same applies for FreeBSD.
And Debian.
So what I mean is, can we have links to more binaries than just Red Hat? Debian, Mandrake, FreeBSD. (I know these's SuSE)
It may just seem like clutter on the download page but it would help users and as much as anything else it shows some apreciation for the packagers who track the releases so well.
Oops! Looks like I added the FreeBSD packages to my local copy of the web pages and forgot to copy it up to the web site. Sorry about that. I'll add links to the Mandrake packages while I'm there. Could someone who is Debian-compliant tell me where I should be pointing for Debian packages? Cheers, Simon

http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/ghc5/ Though of course any debian user should just be able to say "apt-get install ghc5" to get the latest package from the nearest mirror... Lauri Alanko la@iki.fi
