Please, no.... Fix the distribution versions and help them package it
correctly (Debian), but please... not source.  The only possible reason
I can justify using a source install is if you are a developer.  Using
your package manager allows easy upgrades, rollback, and the
distribution will make sure things such as plugins, paths, binary,
image, documentation locations work (at least ubuntu does) with the rest
of the distro.

Thanks for keeping everyone sane,
