I wasn't complaining. My point was that if you don't use it thoroughly and completely, it's not much good. You can't manage some things and not others, especially the lower level stuff. You CAN bypass the system for SOME end-programs that aren't likely to be needed by another program, but you can't build your system from source, then download an RPM and expect to get it installed, just like you expect your checkbook program to know how much alimony you paid your ex-wife last year if you don't enter all the checks.
