That’s not true. Everytime I want a new program it’s not on my version of Linux at that time so I’m left playing find the lib.
for the past decade Linux fans have been saying that issue is solved and its not. Until they can standardize on a common platform it won’t be.
Sorry, dude. My 17-year-old daughter who has exactly one high-school Java programming class under her belt converted her laptop from Windows Vista to a dual-boot system running Ubuntu and Vista without any help from her Unix Sysadmin, DBA, LAMP, web admin, systems-level programmer parents.
If she can do it, so can others. She uses Ubuntu as her primary user interface.
