In the world of Linux, files ending with a ".rpm" are installation
packages. Using a GUI interface, you can just dowble-click on one of
those are everything works like magic. However, when you mix too many
things together, they start to look messy.

In Mozilla, if I happen to click on a link to a ".rpm", it starts up
RealPlayer that for some reason associated itself with the ".rpm"
extension. AFAIK, ".rm" is what it should be using instead of ".rpm"

(from the early versions of IE that claimed to be 'The
Internet'...just for the records, I use Mozilla)
