What I usualy see is "Install packages A,B,C" ok it is easy fire up Ubuntu VBox type "sudo apt-get install A". All goes well then I install package B and then it turns out apt-get for my Ubuntu has only some older version. No problem I find that i can install package B in newer version from someones PPA. This one works but when it comes to package C it turns out that it is only compatible with package B v.2 but with A v.1.3 and package B v.2 needs package A v.1.4. Then I give up, because I am not going to fiddle with it for hours just to find out that package from PPA does not work becaue I have not copied it to correct directory and I have not changed permissions to correct ones. Ok I can setup ftp/http/ssh on linux server with apt-get and changing configs, no problem. But If I have to add some aditional stuff it gets messy very quick.
