 I think comments like "you could also do a "rpm -Uvh --force --nodeps
 ...." SHOULD be pointed with a BIG WARNING, saying you might end up
 with a very screwed system, don't apply on a important machine if you
 are not very sure about what you are doing...

 For people new to Linux I endorse Mandrake, which lately has seen a lot
 of improvement of the rpm framework with urpmi, that is becoming very
 close to the way apt-get and family works. Putting the days of rpm hell
 well in the past.

 As with everything new in life, proceed with caution.
