I love Linux package managers (most of the time).
However:
- if you need the very latest versions it can be a pig
- no one has yet built a nice, usable and newbie friendly UI yet
If Apple can fix the second of those, all power to them :)
- ableal 17y ago> no one has yet built a nice, usable and newbie friendly UI yet The Lindows Click'N'Run store (from 2004 or so ?) didn't look too bad, what with "product aisles" and so on. It mixed the free and commercial apps, too, using the Debian 'apt' tools underneath. It may now be run by Xandros, who bought the company; I haven't looked. (I bought a couple of Xandros releases back in 2003 or so, but didn't like the tight leash they seemed to intend for the customers ;-)
