All the amule rpms I see need substantial changes (usually downgrades)
to wxGTK and wxBase which I am reluctant to do as system goes unstable.
An alternative *.Mule or eDonkey p2p client?
Cheers

We can try and argue common sense into them all day long but if they just won't have it and they're waving money at us, who are we to argue. I have this view too that since computers and software are totally man-made and artificial, we shouldn't have to have such absolute limitations placed on us, since it's just a case of altering software some way or another. That's one thing that makes open source fantastic isn't it. It's nice to be able to say to clients "Yes, we can do that, no problem" rather than "Sorry, you've got to do it this way" too.
