It seems to me that most of US who migrate to Linux from DOS are not 
inclined to do a research on merits of different packaging concepts.
Once you install from your first Book+CD experiment you feel comfortable 
in this enviroment and it takes long time till you start checking small 
differences in packaging policy.
And then it does not bother you anyway, you can use what you already know.
I will grant one thing, some books are better than others on preparing a 
newbie, but they ALL are missing a concise chapter on most common 
activities in installing new software. You have to wander over 1000+ 
pages to find what you need at this moment.
But it makes an interesting pasttime.
Stanislaw.
