That is better, bu it's not there yet. I give you my example:

I donload once
I build on 2 machines
I never recompile for at least 3 years because that is my average 
lifetime of a Linux install. Duting that time an average windows user 
has to reinstall something like 10 times...

Ah.. and I am moving to a set os specialized VMs, so that my installs 
will last longer!!!
