All, I think that Mandrake deserve thanks for (reasonably) consistently including both hugs and ghc in their Linux distro *as standard*. This could significantly help Haskell takeup amongst the unwashed masses. :-) There should probably be a link on the ghc download page to the mdk binaries. The hugs download page just links directly to the mdk rpmfind pages. http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=ghc&submit=Search+...&system=mandrake&arch= http://rpmfind.net//linux/RPM/cooker/contrib/RPMS/ghc-5.02.2-2mdk.i586.html Duncan

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. my $0.02 Duncan

NetBSD has several Haskell-related things in there. On Tue, Feb 19, 2002 at 10:13:07PM +0000, Duncan Coutts wrote:

While all praise goes to Mandrake (and pixel in particular) for distributing hugs and ghc, I would just like to point out that unlike hugs, ghc is only in Mandrake contrib (and cooker), not in the official distro. Jens
