Wow, this is really helpful! Thanks!

Right now I'm more interested in the second, as I believe that will help me understand more about how Ubuntu boxes are best maintained/structured, and hopefully help me to understand how tools are "installed" on Unix. I think I got what I asked for and more from the various responses on this thread so far, though...

Have you seen Andromium as an early take on this concept?
