Debian's tools are all CLI. You'd at least need a graphical frontend
like aptitude for BeOS, to have it accepted in the BeOS community. :)
Further i think it is a good idea to have some kind of automated
software installation system, wether to use debian's format/tools is not
an issue right now anyway. That's r2+ i think. ;)

Has using the Free Software apt debian package format been suggested? I would advocate this over rpm/bsd/win32 style software installs due to it's simplicity and efficiency in doing the job of managing packages!

Ok I'm probably a couple of years too late to even bring this up now going
by the archived discussions but I've gotta put in my 2 cents.
Firstly the installer, we're all pretty familiar with Windows approach, some
seem happy with it.. I'm not one of them.
