Whatever, Maddox wannabe. Ever heard of Synaptic?

Name a LARGE, POPULAR distro that has a good installer, and uses that by default for package managment.

it is a good app, it just does not come included in a major, easy to use distro.

just because something is better does NOT mean it will be adopted by the masses.

hm_murdock:
actually, "wannabe" is not a proper term.

while the stylistic similarities are many, my humor is much more biting even than Maddox. I go straight for the throat, and don't let go until you've bled to death.

I also update less than he does

Debian. With the next release of SuSE 9 (SuSE 9.1), Apt4rpm will come standard.

skyman8081:
Debian, while very good, has issues with ease-of-use,  coming from a Gentoo user is critical.  if you want linux as it is, use slack and fluxbox, nothing is stopping you, go ahead. if Linux (GNU/Linux if your that type of person) is going to take off on the desktop, it CANNOT stay as it is, if it does linux is doomed to stay as it is, and remain with no support from vendors.

The world will not change to support Linux, Linux has to change to support the world.
