I would excpet the patches for a CD full of Appications to be Higher
then  Win/OS X. First the Linus OS and it's applications are Work in
Progress. People all over the World are working to improve it or repair
Glitches. And that is the "Beauty" of Linux. You are not stuck for weeks
or months, or in some cases Forever, with a problem.
