All of the examples you gave are self-sufficient, multi-platform applications that don't really depend on anything. So yes, doing everything yourself is clearly an option, but not everyone has the money to do it. Software installation on Linux IS very much a problem. YaST, APT, smart, etc would not exist otherwise. -- // Janne --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
