Installing from souce == compiling every module that needs it... How
is that *easier* than installing a pre-compiled package?
Of course I'm assuming that the PPM method *works* as intended...
obviously it doesn't... but in an ideal world, all else being equal,
PPM would be easier, IMHO.
I didn't say it uses less resources, I said it's easier.
Installing from source is easier because I have some level of control if
something goes wrong. I can contact the author or take over
maintainership if needed.
With PPM I'm reliant on one company to create PPMs (in the default case)
over which I have no control, and if there's a problem I don't really
have any influence or ability to get it fixed.
