Nonsense. dpkg -i *.deb is user friendly, despite what you want to claim. That graphical tools might make it difficult is no argument. > On 22/11/10 15:07, Rene Engelhard wrote: > > There is no goddamn need for it.

No, my position taken to the logical conclusion would not be that (as I think there's use cases for GUIs - I didn't say anything against them here but just mentioned that dpkg is basics - we don't need GUIs but that we need a "drivers license" for computers. Mandatory for everyone who wants to use PCs. The same as if you would not be allowed to drive a car if you don't know where the steering wheel or the gas pedal is, neither would you be allowed to use a gear car when you only know automatic. Learn basics, or live with people telling you that you need to look at basics before you do stuff.
