This is happening so fast.....

Just a general question from a user perspective as someone coming from the RPM world

Am I the only one who finds the shere numbers of deb packages confusing....
Im all for choice, its just the organisation of the packages isn't all that logical from a user perspective....

I have to admit, click n run solves this by the addition the 'aisles' which looking at klik shouldn't be a problem to implement.

Even for me with years of Linux experience and hence knowing more or less what I want its hard to find official debs classified and I rely on pre-knowledge of the package name and the good ole CLI....

What would be really cool are user reviews of the klik packages,
i.e. say you have a 'aisle' email servers then 30 choices a short user experience is a good thing. i.e. qmail-run or qmail or compile from source??? and thats just a single mail server??? - The user perspective on how this is better or worse than sendmail or postfix is important, it might only be the fact that its easier to configure in webmin or it could be it handles >1000 simultaneous users better....

the klik could then have a link to the klik recipee for webmin-qmail (very cool)

The next difficult part is the 'real install' as opposed to the user install in ~. Although the present apps can all be run from ~ not everything can, from servers to themes!!!!

I have a bee in my bonnet about distro's that modify the intended location of files (like KDE) and hence break everything else.

Next question is how to update the apt database with the fact this is installed ??? Again this rests on user/root install.

Obviously connecting and installing as root is a bit silly, so perhaps the klik should install an icon on the desktop which will then sudo to root for an install?

This then means or pre-supposed that a single desktop would need to be run for it to work, fairly obviously KDE at the moment.

This is IMHO tied in with the deps problem,
If the database can't resolve deps or apt comes back with a choice ... or in early stages if that deb isn't yet available in klik!!!!

I have every faith these are surmountable, but I thought better to bring it up now than later!!!
