BTW, I had issues w/ ppa this week end during a Hackathon. I wanted my teammate to install pharo on his Wheezy 7 Debian and it failed.
Now, we had to enable multiarch to get things running. Pretty out of reach for basic users.
Sorry for no pun, but using some exotic unix distros makes many things out of reach for not just basic, but even expert users. Even more, i cannot call user who installed some rare unix distro on his machine such as "Wheezy 7" the 'basic' one. Basic users don't even know it exists. (or.. well, at least i am completely ignorant of its existence, despite i feel far from being just basic user). As I had to put stuff on a Wheezy 7 server down the line, the get.pharo.orgthing worked better as I had no admin rights.
