Re: Damned Linux installation packages

[Snip...]

what people may have objected against

Speaking for myself, from FUs, since OP is careening into my bozobin...

(1) Anyone who thinks Usenet's a freebie 24/7/365 helldesk is ignorant.

(2) If it's now on Red Hat, I think that's the place to start.

(3) If other toys are SuSE, I think that should be next.

(4) If proprietary, I think it's completely fscked.

(5) If Linux fails, I forget it and move on.

Simple, no?

JMO; YMMV...
