A Debian installer (not the GNU Chess one from what I recall)
did a cool job on GNU Chess, but since it is GPLed we nicked it
all and merged it back in to the main distribution so everyone
packaging for other distros can benefit.

So Debian might not always be better ;)

Alex is write, the OpenOffice install instructions tell you how
to do a multiuser install. The most frustrating thing in Linux
is you still have to read the manual, or the info page, or the
HOWTO.....
