    To tell you the truth, I'm more annoyed by te average Linux install than I am by Windows. Unless I want to spend hours sifting through each individual package component, I'll invariably miss something I want and/or don't want installed. Talk about bloatware - last I checked, Windows comes on only one CD.

    "Recompile it on every PC" isn't on this list for a reason.
