Thanks, there are many ways to install. I used the Bart's system which is easy although it bypasses the package manager.
I believe the Linux installation could be improved with "build-servers" like Suse has and other distros, too. There is no fundamental problem with it. Linux is still a superior platform for open-source software. Unfortunately for commercial software it is not. There is not one Linux but many variations, and supporting binary installs for all is quite impossible. Source code can be made portable more easily but commercial software must deploy binaries. I have a new job (http://www.cadworkssoftware.com/) and realized how big problem it is. Even the big mechanical CAD programs support Windows only, although it used to be the domain of Unix. Seems like Linux will remain an open-source domain. Ok then, no problem... Juha
