I agree the system is not perfect - the availability of the repositories over the last few weeks has been an issue - but that's the price you pay for having access to so many ported applications.

If Nokia had done like Apple and locked down the user ability to use this software we'd be left with a much smaller selection of applications (and on Nokia'sdevelopment team).

I'm amazed at the quality of some of the software available for free, but have also needed to learn more about Linux. I think this is a compromise I'm willing to accept.
