Hmm. I have a real dumb question. Maybe it's not a dumb question but I
feel a bit dumb about asking it (and please, my question was just
triggered but not caused by the actual problem in the subject, I don't
blame anyone)
I understand that the fancy linux packages (be it rpm, deb, tgz) ease up
installation quite a bit, especially if you haven't installed a
compiler; a bad habit many commercial distributions seem to have re
their "free" or "light" versions. I also understand that whoever did a
package had to decide about the contents or the ./configure options.
Am I just old-fashioned when I think the full potential of a software is
only unleashed when it's compiled on the spot where it'll be used? Who's
installing vs. who's compiling? Poll is open. 1st answer gets a slashdot
karma point. :)
