You should account for Synaptic and YaSY package management as well. With
Ubuntu it has become even simpler than apt-get install. With SuSE, it's a
simple game with buttons like OK, Next, and Finish. Even Mandriva makes
things as simple as double-clicking RPM files. Package management and
dependency hell in Linux are a thing of the past. Yet, that's not what
anti-Linux activists will have you told...
