Agreed. As much as I like the rest of Ubuntu I'm beginning to dislike
binary packages after only a week away from Gentoo ;-) Still, at least
they install quicker!

Are there recommended ways of setting up current development systems?
I'm the only person on this machine, so having system-wide packages
isn't much of an issue. Would I be better just building all my own
from tarball rather than hoping Feisty stays up to date?
