Are you implying that files off bittorrent aren't legal?

You know I miss the good old days of having to get under the hood when you install a new distro. I installed a recent version a month ago, and everything just worked!?!? I was like WTF is this? Clicked on the little "test sound" installer diologue and sat there in shock listening to the thing. After a few minutes of poking around checking all of my devices and successfully launching major apps I walked away in disgust. That was no fun at all! How can I feel intellectually superior about knowing how to configure packages from a dos partition after booting off a linux floppy? Mabey in a few years I'll bring out an old copy of Slackware and start evangelising it.

Excuse me, but I'm missing your point. How the hell is

• apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade
• up2date
• emerge -u world

easier/better than clicking "Install" when the notification window comes up?

What?

I play devil's advocate all the time, and I get called stupid all the time.

Are you sure that these two things are related?
