To help Eric fine tune his accuracy, I have to say that I work in a global well known IT company, on Linux solutions sales. We fight everyday for Linux not to die in the commercial world, because of this annoying "missing packages". On the commercial desktop space this is specially annoying. This is so ridiculous that you still can find Linux sales people making Linux presentations on Linux events using MS PowerPoint. Just because to use Linux isn't that straight forward as Andy may think. I believe that too much religion in our OSS world doesn't help much. Exactly as real religions, it makes its followers a bit blind to see whats really happening out there. So I think Eric is pretty accurate in its statement.
