You are terribly wrong and your saying is not based on real-world facts and are misleading. You can always go to developer page and use non-packaged installation of programs and install on your Linux system. (like you were quoting windblows solution). But on GNU/Linux you have another option, too: Packaging and repositories gives you benefit that you don`t need to do search>download>install on all of your 1000`s machines, but they do it alone, quietly and if package is updated in repository it is updated on ALL machines in the whole world, running that repo/package repository. Also such updates are tailored to exact system, tested, maintained and supported. Please, don`t argue in the future about things you don`t understand fully, thanks. -- Seamonkey should be updated to 1.1.13 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/297789 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
