Hi :)
I thought CentOS made a point of being a free version of RedHat, which uses rpm (stands for RedHat Package 
Management)?  Also isn't Fedora a testing ground for packages to see if they work well enough "out in the 
wild", in an active distro, before being considered for the RedHat repos?  Do RedHat pay some of their devs 
to work on Fedora to compliment the volunteers and others that work on the Fedora project?  Tbh before 
checking at DistroWatch i was fairly convinced that Fedora used .deb rather than .rpm just to be weird so 
it's good to see that it really does use .rpm.  


I think even if this is all true then it's still not completely certain because it's quite likely that things 
get recompiled or repackaged before going into the main distro and even then there is a chance of some 
dependancy issue.
