I see no need for anyone to take offense.  Even though I use Ubuntu that 
has to be an easer way to install the non-standard distro versions.  If 
one is willing to stick with what the distro provides that is fine but 
some prefer to move ahead for new features or bug fixes that do not make 
it into the distro versions.

My 2cents.
