Most RPM-based distributions now have some sort of automatic
dependency-resolving system. IIRC Fedora uses up2date, Mandrake uses urpmi,
and some use apt-rpm

Dependency resolution may have been an issue for convertees a few years
ago, but now, with the rise of Debian-based distributions (Linspire,
Xandros, etc) with apt-get, and the introduction of resolution system for
RPMs (as above) it shouldn't really be an issue. (IMHO)
