Linux This is my reaction to Tsu Dho Nimh's "Migrating to Linux not easy for Windows users" featured on Linuxworld.com recently. It's not a response, I'm not challenging his opinions, which I feel are not only valid, but mostly right, it's just a reaction.

Both Gentoo and Debian-based system have the ability to do exactly what you described. I use Gentoo and haven't manually downloaded a piece of software since I started.

apt-get mozilla, mozilla and its dependencies are installed.
emerge mozilla, mozilla's source and its dependencies are installed and compiled.

What in the Windows world can match this?
