All that is utter BS. Locating packages is not even required, you just have to run up2date foo and it upgrades foo and ALL its dependencies bar and baz. Corruption of RPM database is yet to happen to me, and I'd blame poor sysadmining for it. And I am yet to see broken RPM dependencies within Redhat shipped packages. Redhat is certainly not responsible for the two-bit packagers distributing badly packaged software. > Debian is much better, Luckly having sarge ISOs already...Now thinking > twice to always install debian on production servers. :) How exactly is debian better? If I distribute fubar.deb without its dependency baz.deb, debian will also refuse to install it. There might be other (perfectly valid) reasons to install Debian on production servers, but the one you are giving is just FUD in my opinion. > There is no compiled lib for Redhat , even tried rpm of Mandrake > distribution...that give me another set of dependencies. Redhat doesn't ship with ntop - so what. It probably has its own reasons. Debian also doesn't ship with a whole lot of stuff.
