By putting some software that isn't entirely free. So Debian is
better... because they use only free software.
Than they have that way of doing stuff just like that. Unlike m$
you can find out which file went where. But if they didn't have that
feature they would lose some clients.
Than, as m$, they incourage the 'newbie' style. So the questions
that are answered in the HOWTOs and FAQs are posted mostly by RH users.
I'm not insulting anyone. I did the same. My last question was about the
meaning of the leading character in the names of the links from
/etc/rc.d/rc[0-6].d/. I was too asamed than to discover that the answer
was damn obvious. All I had to do was to read /etc/rc.d/rc file. Same
goes for most of my questions.
I have RH. I run it because I didn't have anything else
available. And I got sucked into that. Now, when it comes to get
something new, I have to fight the temptation of getting the rpm with the
exacutables.
And because I said about dumb question here is one: I downloaded
ipfwadm as source (tar.gz) and as executables (rpm). Now, after
compilation, the result of the compilation was a couple of k's smaller
than the exacutable from the rpm. How come?

It's bad. Because you get used with its way. And the next thing
you know it you just can't do without rpms or other things like that.
