You have probably worked only with systems were the packages were installed from sources.
You guessed that correctly. I've compiled not a lot, but a couple dozen times or so, and have more experience with Solaris than Linux. I'm definitely glad to be making a committed change to Linux at this point, and I'm very glad to have found trustix. This is exactly what I've been looking for - small, avoiding ridiculous quantities of packages, relatively secure, quite easy to maintain, great support! I'm very excited.
I'm also enjoying learning more about rpm now, and how they fit together, especially with swup.
Your detailed answer was very helpful to me, Brian, as was Fremen's. Thank you both, and here's to the whole trustix community!
cheers
