Actually dependancies in Mandrake are also now taken care of automatically by 
using the urpm_ series of tools. There are also many linux distributions that 
have EXCELLENT dependancy and provides handling these days. This is not to 
take away from Debian and the apt tools. They are also EXCELLENT as well, and 
perhaps more importantly the way the maintainer's system works, problems tend 
to be rapidly taken care of.
