    This is a repeated reply, but I had to add that I actually have an
    RPM-based system (it's RedHat Valhalla, or 7.3 for the
    digit-using-folk), and I must admit that the RPM format is an
    admirably HORRIBLE package management system. Unless you really want
    to use RPM for EVERYTHING (and that's really hard to do on a desktop
    machine where you need... Hmm... Flexibility?), your dependencies
    immediately get screwed up, not to mention RPMs thinking they're
    installed when they're not and not letting you uninstall them. In my
    experience, it's a mess.

    I love Debian.
