In vogue? Uhh, ok. I thought the current trend was to trash deb for their
long release cycles.

1) the package management sucks. Big time. Whats with putting the rev in the
package name?

2) Package dependancies. The RPMs seem to be VERY coarse grained, package-zxy
depends on package-abc, package-def, and package-ghi, even though -ghi is only
perpherially related (ex: PHP depending on openldap being installed). I have
to chain multiple commands to figure out what needs to be removed first,
before I can remove a package.

Its a very unprofessional setup. I'd rather use Sun's package management.
