After more than a decade of working on Linux (both
personally and
professionally) I finally gave up due to incompatibilities and getting into
circular loops and the weeks spent trying to get a system configured
that would run various tools (without having to have a different system
for each tool). I had several cases where one program needed a
specific version of a system library, another program needed a
*different* specific version of the library and the rest of the system
wanting yet a 3rd version of the same library.

After running into that particular package hell early on in my Linux
experience, I switched to Gentoo linux where multiple versions of
libraries can be installed at the same time and used by whatever
software needs them.
