I know SUSE has some of it. Mandrake has other parts. Both mix low level
packages (libraries, fonts, etc) in with higher level applications which
confuse end users. I'd prefer it if it would work on SUSE, Mandrake,
Fedora, Debian, etc. and that the metadata came from the developer of
the application and not the distro sponsoring company. That creates
package/application naming disparities.
