Ah yeah, of course. SuSE, Conectiva, Kondara ... are also just RedHat rip-offs, right? But making a packaging system which is only used by Mandrake is a bad idea, I think. RPM isn't that bad - okay, I'd like it much better if Mandrake would use apt-get and .deb's, but RPM is the next best thing. > think mandrake needs to develop their own packaging system.

Exactly *what* is so bad about RPM and DEB?
