I won't install it unless I can find an rpm.
I installed mimedefang from rpm.
I install everything from rpm, otherwise I can't track what is installed
on what.
Until I see security erratta, I don't upgrade.
No Overtime for me for system downtime.

I picked debian because I wasn't planning to do desktop stuff and I wanted
the easiest maintenance and highest reliability on a linux system.
I hate dependency hell.
Most people will concur that debian is more stable then gentoo because it
lags behind on most versions.
