Michael, kind of off topic, I know, but why would you want to
discourage people from learning the developer toolchain? Rolling your
own kernel or (Gentoo) "build world" are both very educational (though
perhaps unnecessary these days). Maybe not everyone wants to do that
kind of thing ("Just make it go!"), but I (for one) have always
enjoyed learning this stuff.
Currently, I'm trying to figure out why I can't build xephem (astro
software) from source (needs Motif, Lesstif, ... LINKER ERRORS!), and
am learning lots of interesting stuff along the way. This is where
the fun is. :-)
Just sayin'. No offence meant.
