Both execs do not see major strategic changes on the horizon. Silber's official blog and Linux.com each have more details on how the change will be implemented."

And all this time I thought that the "canonical" executive for any open-source project was "Ty Coon, President of Vice".

Debian's package manager is incredibly annoying if you've used something nice like Portage or Paludis.
I don't believe Ubuntu has strayed to the point of having a different package manager

Definitely. Most people I know only less than 3 it.

I can check development suite at the OpenSuse install
Good troll but you lost me there. Usually the process for any distro that isn't Debian based is:
1- Check a package
2- Click on install
3- Package gains critical mass and starts fusing iron atoms
4- Supernova
5- Massive package and system corruption
When that stops happening I might switch to another distro.
By the way, most of us that program at all, use C exclusively. Your deviated C++ ways are where they belong, together with Objective-C and Haskell in the massive yet solid repositories.
