IMVHO any kind of repetition of knowledge encoded in rpm and apt

I don't understand. Wikipedia only knows about 242 Linux
distributions. What's the big deal?
Of course there are at least five *BSD distributions, maybe five
OpenSolaris distributions, Darwin, BeOS, AmigaOS, Plan 9, and Oberon.
Maybe that is what you are worried about?
It seems that the world would be a simpler place if the world could
standardize on just one distribution such as the one called "Windows
Vista". Then we would not need Autoconf.
