[Gllug] Installing Linux software (Part II)

[Jim Bailey]

Hi all,

I must confess to having less trouble with Debian with than I did with Red 
Hat and SuSE.  However I know more now so it is not a fair comparason.

It would be good for the rpm distros to maybe get together and try and 
improve the situation or alternatively bow down to the one true distro and 
  adapt apt-get as the package management system of choice. ;-P

Yes David, I know it is fundamentally fscked but it isn't as fundamentally 
fscked as the rest. ;-)

I still say tar is your friend and feel an un-natural desire to use 
Slackware and Rock Linux.

Peace Jim
