Debian's Package Management (Score:2)
Debian's package management system is a thing of beauty. It works far better than anything else I've had to use (e.g. Red Hat). However for packages that you work directly with that have many components - like Perl, things can sometimes go a little odd. You must either use only packaged components or install your own version in
/usr/localand managed that manually (e.g. with CPAN). Mixing CPAN and the distro packaged version of Perl isn't always safe...-- "It's not magic, it's work..."
