[GRASS-user] GRASS 6.2 use and Installation - and Quality Posting

[Daniel Farnan]

Is there a date for the release of the Debian package "proper?"
I have seen a few debian compatable packages for 6.2 (which looks realy good
- Congratulations all! - on my home computer (Mac running Panther)), but am
hesitant to disturb the Debian system I am running, as I am new new to Linux
as a user.
Also, after following the winGRASS 6.3 install directions very closely, I
have not had satisfactory results yet (still no 'grass.bat') with the
install. Is it necessary to install all the libraries (which would make
sense as the 6.1 dev I previously installed was a Cygwin release), and where
should they be installed? 
6.2 Cygwin release is not going to happen, due to 6.3 being a native
release?

And, though I am delighted by a posting from the future, promising over 15
million dollars to the GRASS team (which sadly is in the form of a text-book
scam, true or not); and am intellectually interested in the Debt-Free
Overningt Card (particularly as a Liberal Idealistic US Citizen),  these
postings belong elsewhere.
I would offer a spam filter (or even a recreational/social mailing list area
script), but have not written anything of the kind.
I have faith in the moderators, who have work & lives, and not too much free
time.
Pointers to command line and OS (Linux) related Syntax and Use resources
most welcome. Thanks, Daniel :-)
