No matter how many packages they have: they always miss some. Or some sensible configuration.
E.g., my Ubuntu does not have Racket in the package list. The more recent PLT scheme it has is PLT 4.2.1.
And that is rather good... afterall in April (that is to say when this Ubuntu came out) there was PLT-Scheme 4.2.5. Yes, I know... if I want something done I could always do it.
There is worse... The packaged Gambit version is 4.2. There have been many major improvements to Gambit since then (it has reached version 4.6; 4.2 is about two years old, maybe more). And if I have a package manager, but still have to install things by hand...
