This isn't a flame of you Jeremy, I just want to
say something before I shut up about it :-)
As your friend claims, I'm probably being "lame" for not wanting to
learn
how to use rpms to it's fullest potential. You're right.
You spent a lot of time learning it, so I shouldn't
bad mouth them, I should happily adopt the system.
Anyways, most of the
Redhat rpm's won't work on Suse, even after Suse moves to glibc.
So most of us will probably be using redhat source rpm's anyhow,
which is about the same as a tarball download. So I'm
not being "forced" into anything.
I guess time will tell. How long do you think it will
be before warnings are issued about some rpm that contains
a trojan? Maybe never,...maybe it's already happening.
Maybe I shouldn't talk about it.
You don't know, do ya.
P.S. You can tell, I'm the kind of person who keeps
a lock on my floppy drive. :-)
