Hmmm... just typing apt-get install boost* is somewhat of brute force 
method - about half a gigabyte will be downloaded and, after 
compression, even more disk space is lost! Three weeks ago, with an 
already clogged system partition, this way of doing it led to my system 
crashing completely...

But as long as new-made harddisks are affordable even for the poorest 
tenth of society (which includes me), this might be the strategy of choice!

But... with some essays on peak oil I've read recently, I ask myself how 
long this can go on... what about a thread "Peak oil and the future of 
raytracing" on povray.off-topic?

See you in Khyberspace!
