WTF...no source whatsoever at that address.  I use none of those distributions.  I guess I could use one of those packages with rpm2tgz... :/

I'd asked them (Trolltech) about making Debian and Slackware packages about a year ago.  I also use FreeBSD.  I've no idea if any of those package formats can be used with FreeBSD.  I can see why they wouldn't allow their source (ala Nvidia, ATI) but if they don't allow source they should at least provide their products in a proper package (one for each major distribution), IMO.

They act like their product is gold or something, so valuable that they call all the shots...limited package formats, no source.  I guess I can keep ssh'ing or FTPing into my Zaurus to back it up or attempt to rsync.  I just don't see how they can cater to the Linux masses with just Suse, RH, and Mac packaging (doh...MacOS is remotely related to the BSDs...I guess I could give that a shot).
