i was just thinking about this, there's mandrake, suse, and redhat, all tailored to new users, and all have the absolutely horrid RPM system.
then we have distros like debian and gentoo which make installing programs extremely easy. why hasnt someone modified debian to make an ultra easy distro? couldnt mandrake base itself on debian instead of redhat? you could have kudzu and everything.
it makes absolutely no sense.
mandrake, redhat, suse = easy to install, a PAIN to install programs on.
debian, gentoo, bsd's even = not easy for newbies to install, but really easy to install software on.
anyone else wanna chime in on the subject?
