Choice

I know it is almost heretical in todays society, but is too much choice a bad thing?

The Ubuntu 6.06 installation I am using to write this took about 20 minutes to install and set up. Today I went through the package manager and spent nearly 90 minutes finding packages to install. The choice of packages is almost endless (well it appears that way).

One of the wonderful things in Linux is the amount of software available – but is this always a good thing? Will productivity be improved when people spend a third of their day installing software they will probably never use?
