[WBEL-users] Switch over to APT

[William Warren]

both of my machines have at least 256 megs of ram.  One is a p-2 
350 and the other is a p-4 1.4 ghz.  Both of them go quite 
quickly with the bottleneck being my dsl connection not the 
machines.

My "Foundation" verse:
Isa 54:17  No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; 
and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou 
shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, 
and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.
