That depends.. if for instance you are likely to rebuild your machine,
it can be a boon.  But really I just wanted to raise the point - I think
more people should learn to use their packaging tools they are an
important part of what differentiates the various distros (although even
people like Red Hat have now got a handle on what makes apt-get a good
architecture and why they need something similar).
