The more manually installed software exists on the (complex) system, the more troubles will be with maintenance. What I like about almost any package manager is that it helps to keep all packages controllable in uniform way, without a need to remember which file belongs to which package, how to install/upgrade any particular one and so on - package manager's control scripts handles that (I almost always review those scripts anyway, but that's another story). /mjt
