Well, I'm glad this follow along with Mandrake billing itself as the easiest
to use, and user-friendly distro... As I'm certain ALL users are familiar
with how to compile source packages.

Oh well, whatever, I can see that the actual argument I was making is going
exactly nowhere here. Unfortunately typical Unix/Linux ("Roll it yourself,
or you're a loser") crowd :-)

Seriously, from a business perspective, I would tend to disagree with the
'it's not worth it' issue, and as I pointed out to Geoffrey, many of the
updates (to Apache and PHP) address serious functionality or security
issues. Claiming it's not worth fixing those seems disingenious.
