So to install or not to install the choice is totaly yours i just wanted to tell you guys as to what new is available.
But at least initially, we have to download all the packages that we want to install. Isn't it?

Secondly, if its a source file, its needs to be compiled and then it can be install. So most newbies will have trouble doing it
