  • What does that have to do with what I said? There is no standard package manager for all distros. I perfer slackware's package manager because it used existing technologies tar and gz which where standards already. most slackware packages you can untar the tarball and use the binary but other distros build their packages with too many dependencies that you would need to use yum or apt-get to get the dependencies for you.

  • Actually there's ways to install just about any package on any Linux-based system.

    And since Ubuntu and Debian are so popular, things are basically standardizing on debian packages.

  • All those web sites that only support IE with Active X only. There are too many differences in the different linux distros. Rpms in redhat with yum and deb with apt-get in ubuntu. And my business uses Outlook with a bunch of plugins; Evolution is great but is very buggy. (so is outlook) I always complain and I am the sysadmin but I can not just quickly change the way we do business and we support windows computers more than linux by far.
