    Huh? Do you mean RPMs for Mandriva, or Red Hat, or SUSE, or FooLinux? Because it's very rare for an RPM for one to work properly (if at all) on another. Different libraries, file locations, API breakage, glibc breakage, ABI breakage, GCC breakage...

    Until you give up and use a decently engineered system that has some form of stable platform, on which you can just install new apps without all this complication :-)

    But it's Open Source, so it's betterer!

    I'm getting this now, too. I _thought_ RC3 was stable, but I can't keep 1.5 up for more than 1/2 hour or so before it pins the CPU (winXP).
