Because I know how to build my own rpms, and because I can grab srpm files
and compile and install them in one go. When I used netbsd on my amiga
there were no package systems, and since I changed side I never saw a reason
to go back. There is nothing in netbsd I really miss, on the contrary I
find the linux world alot more vivid and .. simly.. fun.
