That's because Mike does everything except those things!
Don is correct, of course. :)
Seriously, though, there is a difference. All of those things are easy to install wherever you want them to go. They do default to non-standard places, but we have created our own standards for them. The difficulty with DJB software, or so I understand, is that it pretty much has to go where he puts it. I don't know if this is a limitation of the install or if it's just because it's too much of a pain to follow the installation instructions otherwise.
Anyway, I believe in "live and let live" for most things, and I'm certainly not trying to convince anyone else not to use DJB software. I just think it should be presented as an option among options, and not the One True Way.
