  1. Ease of Use for Package Management by eugene+ts+wong · · Score: 4, Interesting

    1 of the things that I like about portage is the ease of use. You don't have to find dependencies. Nor do you have to find the web sites that host these packages. If you can find a place that's closer than the defaults, then you'll have the option of getting packages from there.

    I think that these general advantages should be available all across the board for all OSes, unless of course there are specific needs for specific alternatives.

    I'm not trying to start a flame war or anything. I'm just sharing my own likes & dislikes.
