Ok,
So deb is light years ahead of rpm. I don't give a damn thing about
that. Gnome users, if they happen to come massively to existence won't
give a shit either.
At best they'd love the fact that they can track files and know which
one goes where. NO average Joe/Jane is ever going to type apt-get, rpm
-Uvh ftp://.... or whatever it is.
They want to click and be done and they are right. So leave it to
software makers to have installers that fit rpm/deb or just rpm for
all I care.
For normal users, rpm is more than enough so ditch deb or make it
available for power users who until now represent at most 4% of the
computing population worldwide, dammit.
Ciao and peace
