RPM is not only for SuSE the format of choice. RPM originally came from 
Redhat. That's why RPM stands for Redhat Package Manager. And this also shows 
that RPM is not a universal installation format for Linux. 
 
The "Linux native" format always was, is and hopefully will always be .tar.gz 
or at least the newer .tar.bz2. 
 
Btw, these OpenOffice.org 2.0 Beta downloads were the first .rpm files which 
were packed in .tar.gz archives I have ever seen. 
 
Here is also a "native - maybe unwritten - rule" for Linux: Either the 
packages are in .rpm format or in .tar.gz but not in .rpm format which is 
additionally packed as .tar.gz. 
 
As I've written before, I don't like RPM and I'd like to have OpenOffice.org 
2.0 as "native" .tar.gz with the "old" installer.
