How is it "light years ahead" of FreeBSD for "the ease of maintaining the
software on the machine"? I'm curious about what you mean.
I share Michel Talon´s mind in regards to "the ease of maintaining the
software on the machine" but I find myself inclined to rpm ... that´s
why I use Mandriva on my notebooks/netbooks.
RPM has come a really long way since it´s inception and has proven to be
an incredible flexible tool to do the task it´s meant to do (I can write
a single .spec file and create as many rpms out of a single tarball as I
see it fits my needs, package granularity they call it... just take a
look at the mandriva repos to see what I mean).
In my personal experience I have found that creating, maintaining and
handling rpm packages is a lot easier than creating ports or keeping the
software up to date using packages.
