I am happy that there is a large choice of
distro's to choose from but GNU/Linux packaging
is too fragmented and not polished enough
across it's own spectrum.
GNU/Linux needs a robust and common packaging system
with tar files as an option. we need this to stay strong
and be competitive when fighting M$ and others.
I like to compile stuff from source and tweak it.
However, that willl never gel with corporate
end users. qaulity/simple/smooth/Common packaging
is what will solve a lot of problems , silence critics
and allow the GNU/Linux community be more productive as they
focus on making the big picture happen.
It is more important than most people think!
