Saying that if you use Linux, then it must be Red Hat wouldn't fly far..... I happen to use OpenSuSE, but the real problem is that I don't have a list that I can just say, "go fetch and install these". Tripping over first one, then the next, then how many more? I know I weary easily, but I've stubbed my toe several times in succession before only to finally download a package that doesn't build at all. So I just don't do it any more. :( I'm spoiled. Stuff needs to be completely straight forward.
