Saying that if you use Linux, then it must be Red Hat wouldn't fly far.....

I happen to use OpenSuSE, but the real problem is that I don't have
a list that I can just say, "go fetch and install these".  Tripping over
first one, then the next, then how many more?  I know I weary easily,
but I've stubbed my toe several times in succession before only to
finally download a package that doesn't build at all.  So I just don't
do it any more.  :(

I'm spoiled.  Stuff needs to be completely straight forward.
