I am not sure how many people here have used FreeBSD
but gentoo Linux uses something similar to the ports
collection in freeBSD, or the apt system in Debian.
Which means dependancy checking when installing a
package and no making sure that you have all 1001
packages needed to install something. Picture this,
want to install gaim on a minimal install system, it
will check and install anything and everything you
need for gaim. Even the X server.

I think thats pretty cool and easily mantainable by
any novice. :)

Thats just my 0.02
