agree. However it's a pity. Bill will always be better here.
Unless GNU finds some solution ?

I know it is.... Technically. If you have all proper dependencies,
"includes", "dev" packages - it works.
But trying to guess what components I should install to satisfy all
dependencies is a russian roulette.
Commercial software is equipped with clear and intuitive helps and
manuals. Free one is not, what is somewhat obvious. For sure it's a blue
ocean for anybody who provides linux based IT services. Cost of
vs cost of expertise ;)Part of the difficulty is that if you are downloading a TAR file and

installing that then this is not a TAR file for this distribution, but
rather for all distributions. Getting consistant package names across
all distributions is non-trivial. There are also problems sometimes
when an source package name clashes with another name that is already
in a distribution. So while in a perfect world all names are the same
in the real world oddities are quite likely.

The only drawback is this damned end-user-service. Obscure manuals,
"guess
installations", much of IT work before you really get in.
I understand that (almost) for free you cannot expect much. But it's a
real thing that keeps linux away from average people and popularity.

Hi Zbigniew,
this is why Knoppix, and Now Ubuntu was created! They target a different
audience. Debian can be used by many folks, but it is not as end-user,
no-command-line focused as the ones mentioned before. It was not
targeted to an average M$ or Mac user. This need is being filled by
other distros that want to target those users. Free software allow this
natural competition/free market and it gives users the power to make
own
choices.
cheers,
Kev
