X doesn't run at any particular  and you can have anycolor text on
any color background.  (A fun trick is to switch a friends xterm
settings to white on white.... =-)

	No, I haven't dared introduce oort into unstable yet. I plan
 on doing so soon. Even then, I'm afraid that I was not planning on
 putting things in contrib into the load-path by default. I could
 include the contrib files into the package.

	If you want to experiment with Oort on Debia, add the
 following to your source.list:
deb http://people.debian.org/~srivasta/ packages/ 
deb-src http://people.debian.org/~srivasta/ packages/source/

	Correct. Emacs21 in Debian unstable contains 5.9.0; and the
 standard stand alone Gnus in unstable is 5.8.8 (and does not over
 ride the built in 5.9.0).  I am packaging Oort 0.7 for unstable now,
 and probably shall upload either this weekend, or next month (I have
 a two week business trip coming up).

	I am leaning towards getting it installed under
 /usr/share/gnus/contrib, not in the standard path, but easily added
 by people who want to. The one thing that concerns me is whether the
 released Gnus shall retain the contrib files, because if not I'll
 have to add them in so as to not be lynched by irascible Debian
 users. 


 Mart> Again, thanks.

	You are very welcome ;-)
