I admire your gentleman's response, your eloquent phrasing and general respect for the environment ;-)
As for me, I would have gutted the troll and buried him under a rock.

I am surprised nobody has mentioned Netbsd. If one really wants, they install applications straight from the Netbsd sources with "pkgsrc":

It's probably a PITA but if you've got nothing to do it's a good waste of time. There used to be a couple of Slackware-based distros using pkgrsc but they're no longer maintained.

There are some ready made pkgscr binaries here but I am not sure how they'd work on a modern system:
