This works great, until you are responsible for supporting $BIGNUM sets of 
servers / workstations.  Revision control is a real issue when you're 
managing LOTs of systems.

Note that I did not mention a particular OS.  I happen to like redhat, but 
other UNIX vendors, like Sun, SuSE (and other) make good, capable package 
management systems that make management of large numbers of systems possible.

Now, your personal desktop?  Hurt yourself.  And if you like the Slackware 
paradigm, take a look at gentoo (www.gentoo.org).
