Are things really that different in the non-Windows worlds?  If I want 
python-nose, I run "sudo apt-get install python-nose" (and that means I 
can always remove it with "sudo apt-get remove ...").  Seems more 
similar than different (ignoring the silliness of Microsoft's insistence 
on "the GUI is the OOWTDI" even for such administrative tasks as 
installing system-wide software).
