Just installation, which can be quite difficult on some hardware.  And
perhaps (from a sysadmin POV) fixing minor porting bugs when compiling
stuff, like byte-order and sizeof(int) bugs, but then that is more the
resposibility of the distribution developers I guess.  Maybe they should get
a special certificate of their own... :)
