I've used them too... ever have a proprietary requirement that 
only works with, say, php 5.2, but only php 5.1 is available in 
the repo?

Or a custom built thing the company relies upon.... but no longer 
has the source, and their old server just died? Or, has the 
source, but it only compiles with one specific setup anyway.

I've had to deal with stuff like this several times, and the 
package manager fights me every step of the way.


Or, on my home computer, someone wrote something cool.... but of 
course they don't offer a package for my system. (At home, I use 
Slackware.) So it is time to build from source. Great, but then 
it is time to track down a hundred tiny libraries (seriously, a 
10 kb library, why didn't you just include that in your own 
source?), of course matching the version too. What a hassle!


Hence my first comment: I prefer to just grab the Windows version 
and run it in wine. That usually just works.
