I remember myself saying the exact same thing back in the early 
nineties...when linux and freebsd were just becoming 
popular....boy...if you think installing dmd is headache, take a 
trip back in time.

That's a great idea. Go create a website to specifically target 
'DMD for beginners'. Become a contributor. Let others know what 
you did, to make things work. Because that is the way..things are 
most likely to get done, in the open source community... by 
contributing.

In the end, "..those that need to know...do know."
