Which means that even though there's no package dependency stuff, grabbing source code and typing "./configure && make && sudo make install" will usually just work too.

I've been a fan since 4.0, and I can't quite put my finger on why I stay with it. It just feels nice, like an comfy old sweater that magically keeps up with new fashions and never frays or unravels. It doesn't look down on me for liking the command line, either, which is always nice.
