I would like to raise the goal post for Linux software interface

frustration off my chest after trying to download some Linux software
for the first time and get it up and running. According to the
directions it was easy. My question is : for whom?
Welcome to a world where there is no QA, where there is no standard
installation process and where your very mettle will be tested to the
limit when you install FOSS. But once you do, you will know alot about
the underlying architecture of the operating system you are using.
So tell us, John, which package caused you grief? Perhaps we can
show you the way to easier installs.

p.s. the quality FOSS installation (on Linux, Unix, etc) can vary
from something sterling like Perl (works seamlessly everytime on every
platform I've tried) to downright dreadful (not naming names).
