Subject: [Hampshire] newbie Q - why is RPM (sometimes?) not liked??
I have heard several independent generally adverse remarks about RPM,
and would be grateful to know some background.

I use/d suse ok, which I know uses rpms, and now k/ubuntu, which I
know is deb based. Comments even go as far as
'RPM hell' - what does rpm do that is unwanted?
