During the majority of my time working with computers, Windows was the operating system of choice. Reason being, it's all I've known. In 2002, I took a college course titled "Linux Administration" which entitled me to a few cd-roms of Redhat 7.x. While this course was nothing more than a few extra credits for me, I fell in love with Linux and went through the entire textbook a week into the class. It was a nice feeling to use something "different" than what I was used to.

Sure, ERPM's would seem great. But now, what if we would put three software packages into an ERPM: KDE, LyX and KMPlayer. If you would download them, you would download QT (7 MB) three times. You would download kdebase (23 MB) twice. So all in all, you would download 37 MB extra for a little more ease of use!
And on a CD, ERPM's don't make sense either, as you could just as easily add the dependency-RPM's on it.
