[WBEL-users] Love the product...

[Scott Heisler]

I actually downloaded the RPM for it and it installed just fine.  I wasn't
aware of NANO when I did it though.  Will be switching to nano in all future
installs.

Thanks again
Scott

This is why neither RHEL 3 (and by extension WBEL) or Fedora Core include
pine.

I believe people have had luck rebuilding M Harris' SRPM for WBEL.
