a packaging system offers a service, if it works for you, then it's good
enough.  theres fsck all point in arguing about it, does it work for
*you*? well, thats all you need to worry about.  most are easy to use, and
offer enough features to satisfy the most common needs, so long as they
dont let the pkg database get fsck'ed up, then which ever you choose is
fine.

incidentally, rpm 4.03 just buggered up on me, leaving the database
mangled.  seems like i need to find that tooth pick and soldering iron to
fix it.  note, this aint a 'released' distro, so i dont care that much
when it breaks.
