I will check out the functionality and make sure I don't overlap. I am most
interested
in a GUI front-end for updating binary updates to the base system. Thank
you for taking
your time to help! I will keep researching current GUI projects and make
sure this is
worthwhile.

     Everyone has given me much to work with, I appreciate it all.
