Shane - Heh, nice description! RPMs (or Debian packages, if you're so inclines) are one of the great advantages of Linux, especially now the urpmi command (and it's graphic partner, Mandrake's Software Manager) gets you out of most of those annoying dependency problems. Farshad - Note that most RPMs can't be run as is without being root. There are ways you can make them install to a home directory (sometimes) - read man urpmi and man rpm if you want to do this.
