This is pretty much idiotic. You're saying Windows and Linux work the same way, yet you clearly have no idea how the different distributions are setup. Why wouldn't you want to take advantage of the fact that we have package repositories? ffs, it took a grand total of 10 minutes to setup mining on my Arch box from a 100% fresh install.

btw, why poclbm over hashkill? hashkill is easier to setup and faster with less dependencies and overhead.
