I suppose my question at this point is why can't we have a graphical solution a bit like windows? You know, download a package, click on it and let it get on with installing. I tried Synaptic a while back and got nowhere. Is this something thats likly to be addressed?
Many thanks in advance,

It will be at least a few days before I'm ready to try the new aproach to my media centre but with a dedicated OS it might well solve my problem. I did try Mythbuntu but that just wasn't very pretty LOL

As to the who put the button there point, who tells you to go type certain lines of text into terminal to get certain software working? At some point surely there is a trust unless you want to compile the code from the start?
