I admit that I'm a geek. I use Linux. I use Solaris. I use FreeBSD. At times, I use Windows. And without a doubt, I download and try almost every Linux distribution when they come out. Over the last few years, I've tried all of the RedHat/Fedora releases, 2 different Lindows/Linspire releases, Mandrake, Gentoo, Xandros, Suse, Ubuntu, and the list goes on.

With properly configured remote sources, both YaST on SuSE and rpmdrake on Mandrake have been doing this for years. What's the big deal? I want to install, I dunno, mono...well, I personally would type urpmi mono, but you can just as easily run rpmdrake (from the KDE or GNOME menu or MDK control centre), browse to or search for 'mono', click on the tick box next to it, and then click install. Bang, done. It ain't revolutionary. Oh, and doesn't synaptic do the same for debian?
