Hi Lloyd
FYI, you probably shouldn't install pmwiki-0.6.0 since there's a major
change in the layout system, i.e. it might be easier to wait for 0.6.1.
(Just in case you didn't know).
I actually don't have an opinion on tar.bz2 v.s. tar.gz, but I'm on a
10Mbit connection... we probably should used bz2 though. It's just as easy
to use with the GNU version of tar, just do:
tar xjvf pmwiki-0.6.0.tgz2
to extract the files from the compressed archive.

Definitely. (To Pm's defense, he hasn't reached 1.0 yet :-)
