There were so many bits of this that I found weird but this one stood out: > Linux 2000: There is only One True Way of installing software: using distro packages. If you do anything else you are bad and you should feel bad. I was in my "dating phase" of testing Linux distros out as a kid in those days, and I never felt "bad" building something from source when not available from aptitude (or portage, or whatever)...? I feel like being able to build one-off software has always been part of the ethos of Linux due to the whole "freedom" aspect and all =/
