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.

Sounds like you need FreeBSD...
FreeBSD has a huge online repository of precompiled applications & has no problem resolving dependencies. It's as simple as selecting them from the list and pressing install.
You can also compile things yr self using the BSD ports system which also resolves dependencies during the build...
So you have a choice of selecting things from an online repository or using the onboard ports tree. Either way dependency problem solved...
