Re: Debian or RPM?

[adam owensby <adam ibm net>]

debian in my eyes is superior.
the difference to you will be how they depend on other files
redhat rpms when rpm notices that you are missing something required to install
the rpm properly will tell you the file(s) needed.
debian debs under the same circumstances will tell you a package you need
rpms are more widespread than debs, but a program called alien (comes with
corel linux) can convert 90% of them very easily
i have tried every released redhat since 4. something, mandrake, and the
others, and i'm running corel linux.
