Without having read the article, my guess is that it's about
distributions using apt, not comparing .deb and .rpm. apt supports rpm,
you know, so it's not like it will take too much effort to get everyone
using apt.
apt is a distribution method, and a damn classy wrapper for package
management.
Now i'll go read the article, excuse me if I'm way off track.

card connecting to a dodgey ISP and chatting on dodgey IRC servers - all you
need now is some alcohol & night swimming & you have a winning combination!
