Gnome rpm distro lacks management

[tommiy <tommiy ozemail com au>]

I've been using gnome for a while and tried to convince some friends to
use it. They went off to their local mirror and grabbed the latest
redhat RPMs. They then rang me to tell me that it was garbage and things
didn't work properly and that were going to remove it all and use KDE
instead. So I went off and grabbed the same files they did and to my
surprise they are correct. It appears that the RPMs being distributed on
the ftp site have been made with either glibc2.1 or egcs and have broken
things for a standard install redhat machine. Its a pity that management
of the gnome packages can allow this to happen as it is what causes
users to abandon gnome. They install it and it doesn't work so they
remove it as rubish.

Sad I like gnome.
