GenericUnixPrompt> yum install foobar Sorry, I can't find that package. What? I can't just use the generic name by which *everybody* calls it to get the latest and greatest? No no nooooo! I have to search through the database to find the *exact* version string you compare against. GenericUnixPrompt> yum install foobard-stable-4.3.2.4.x86.bin That is, if I bothered to keep the package databases up-to-date. For instance: GenericGentooPrompt> emerge foobar Sorry, you neglected to update emerge in the past 20 minutes. Please upgrade emerge. GenericGentooPromp> emerge update emerge Sorry, I can't find any repositories for your decripit, ancient and otherwise unsupported version from 2 days ago. What? You neglected to emerge for more than 20 minutes? Muahahahahahahahahaha! Sucka!!!!!!!! l10o0o0o0o0o0o0o053r!!!!!!!!
