7. How many packages have you got installed on your machine? (rpm -qa | wc -l; dpkg -l | grep '^ii' | wc -l) > I'm very regularly building rpms and debs that either replace distro > vendor's packages or add new software. I should have added that "you" do not count for a "vendor other that the creator of the distribution". There is nothing wrong with you of course (-; it simply does not prove the point that in general building packages by 3rd parties is a common practice. > I think Opera is one good example who build and distribute packages > for multiple distributions.
