No, it's not. Whenever I want to install a new piece of software I type:
yum install < packagename >
and that's it. It downloads and installs the package, and all the dependencies. It updates the menus and libraries. No muss. No fuss. Yum comes with all RH and Fedora distros. It's installed as part of the base system.
Gimme a break, that system is so crappy even open source guru’s like Eric Raymond publicly spit on it.

I know but you have to figure out what to put in the up2date conf file or the yum conf file. And if it isn’t the right thing, it doesn’t tell you what the right thing is and it’s just so stupid, why don’t the people who write the software give you all that stuff.
The other thing I never got to install properly or install and work was Tentekel. There was another one that kind of worked for running the same command on many different machines but not quite.
I don’t know, it just seems like if you have to read the manual, the thing the manual describes is poorly designed. Loonix is poorly designed times infinity. That’s what it is. I didn’t make it that way. It’s a lot like the Surrender to Mexico bill. Even an idiot, such as my self, can see how idiotic it is and that the people who design it are even bigger idiots them me. Which is kind of sad, really.
I’m good at fighting aliens and saving babes but that’s really about it. One liners too, I guess. But I’m smart enough to know that linux sucks. Go figure.
