does anyone know if npm is included with the windows install? This is very exciting.
yes, it is included :)
OK Brilliant. Im going to try this right now - Thanks! ;-)
See the person's comment above about npm help.
What's the state of the art in Debian/Ubuntu packages for Node? Is anyone maintaining some anywhere?
I believe the default version is 0.4.9. This is the output from node -v command on 11.10
0.4.12 in Debian unstable.

The npm package has been outdated at 0.2.19 for ages, so this merge will hopefully bring back a usable npm.

Debian (unstable) - 4.12-1

http://packages.debian.org/sid/nodejs

Ubuntu (11.10) - 0.4.9-1ubuntu3

http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/nodejs

Mint - none

Fedora - none

Arch - 0.6.2-1

http://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/nodejs/

Gentoo (unstable) - 0.6.2

http://packages.gentoo.org/package/net-libs/nodejs

OpenSuSE - ??? (couldn't find package database)

FreeBSD - 0.4.12

I maintain a third-party node repo for Fedora: http://nodejs.tchol.org/

I tried to get it into Fedora proper, but node currently bundles their own slightly modified libev and c-ares, which is against Fedora's packaging policies.
