Linux needs to be easier than Microsoft Windows Operating Sys...
Hi.
On Microsoft windows operating system you just install a new program and there is no a need to worry what dependencies you will need because the installer already have those DLL's (Dinamic Link Libraries) which are dependent for the new program already included within the installer it self and the installer automatically copies these DLL's to the %windir%\system32 folder. Why cant it be the same for linux, why cant it be all this easy for installing new programs, a linux program installer (the RPM's or DEB's) should automatically satisfy any dependencies for the said program to be installed and not having to gun down the responsibility towards the users in having to download all these dependencies on the internet. That way no one would be interested in switching to Linux from Windows XP, its just way too complicated for the average joe.
