The fragmentation in the Linux world is ridiculous. I'm on my 4th OS

couldn't use Debian.
Have you looked at alien?
http://packages.debian.org/alien
Then there's chroots, user mode kernels, emulators, Xen etc. These can
come handy.
I hope CMake / CPack starts performing some miracles sometime, because
otherwise, I couldn't possibly take Linux packaging seriously. It's way
too much of a mess.
I believe the packaging should be (mostly) left to the actual
projects' packagers. They should have all the knowledge, tools
(including bug tracking) and build farms etc for that.
