I actually enjoy running Linux on all my computers, I run F7, F8, F9,
CentOS and ........ ubuntu. I just dont understand why the deps go so
deep. Today I wanted to install Thunar, XFCE's file-manager and it was
dependent on XFCE's Terminal-emulator, why?

I think most Linux-distros is great, but things can be even better.


Not in this specific regard. Or would you prefer 10 versions of the same DLL?
