Linux on Dell laptop?

[Sina Bahram]

I'm a bit confused...aren't rpms and so on designed to help out the user
rather than cause problems. And aren't dependancies a good thing...if
something is truly dependant upon something else....i'm just a bit confused
here.

Take care,
Sina

Hi Igor.  Perhaps you might be able to install FC2, and then delete the 
RPM subsystem?  That way you won't have to deal with package tracking 
systems like RPM and apt, and you also won't deal with dependency issues. 
Best of all, you'll have a perfectly functioning *nix machine.
