I believe this is the most FATAL flaw of Linux(and other Unices) as it starts
to take on Windows for the desktop. People do not want hear that they will
have to download an rpm for their particular distro, and they shouldn't have
to. One rpm for one program. I realize there are differences(libc5 and
glibc) right now, but that will change. I just can't believe people wont agree
on things like directory structures, library locations, etc. .
