Linux on Dell laptop?

[nick G]

I Totally agree with you.  I've always liked RPM's the best out of the major
package formats.  Mind you I have not seen portage, but It's the RPM that is
making me stick with Fedora like I am.
Thanks,
Nick

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.
