Couldn't it be that you don't see dependency problems from proprietary software because you don't get the code or the opportunity to compile it for yourself? I am pretty sure proprietary systems have even more trouble in this area. And if you want to complain about bad assumptions and system-specific code and hard coded install paths (as I often hear you complain about with GNU software) you have clearly never compiled proprietary code! Free software/open source is heavenly in comparison! - -- Tracy R Reed http://ultraviolet.org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFCP45e9PIYKZYVAq0RAl2PAJ9xRQOn2SFzmd/yWF6BzIRYr+ltfQCbBLRO NdMR1WFdENQgsyYShxaEyE8= =WEzm -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
