Apparently those "less technical" haven't tried building kde3.1 on a
RedHat8 box (comes w/3.0), or figuring out how to get Mozilla Firebird
compiled on an Alpha RH7.2 box (Firebird rocks, BTW), or even getting
the Oracle thin
client working w/Perl on Linux.   Wait...scratch that last one -- it was
easy!  :)

bin RPMS are for wimps!
