Well, all I can think is that your fear of RPM is still rooted in Redhat 3. Things have come a long way since 1997!
I always thought that Synaptic is merely a clone of Mandriva's Software Manager.
Mandriva is a 'heavy' distro and includes everything including the kitchen sink. That being said, the Mandriva wizards are second to none. So if you have a machine with a large disk drive (and nowadays that is everybody) then Mandriva is for you. For a total newcomer, Mandriva is excellent, better than Ubuntu, since the wizards are better. It is the only distro where you really can do everything with a mouse.
1. Blow air through the ears.
2. Put a radiator on the neck and cool the whole brain down.
3. Wear an ice-togue
4. Move to a northern clime and live in an igloo.
5. No profit - solutions are too cheap.
I guess that a good many of the 'found no trace' part in this 'study' were either running Linux, Macintosh or using ClamAV. I always have to jump through hoops to convince Windoze to stop bugging me because the PC is running ClamAV, thank you very much...

Uhmm, whatsamatter dood? Smoked your cornflakes this morning? Cheer up!
Now what is SCO going to sell?

Well, evidently, the other moons are diesel powered and Lapetus is flying into the smoke trail - cough, cough...

Well, it was right up there between 'Don't stop' and 'Oh, my God'... A religious experience all-right.
Yup, there is even a proverb: "Foreigner is playing at a small venue near you and there are still tickets available."
So, the next time your neighbours have a noisy party, don't call the police, call the PRS!
Hmm, now we know what is inside the Pope's Egyptian style helmet. So those Pharaos really did have advanced technology...
I always thought that Ticket Master is just the largest scalper. So now they are complaining about the smaller scalpers?
Why don't you stick a USB key in the PCs ear and boot Linux off it?

Actually, there are billions more Linux computers than Windows computers. Most Linux machines are cell-phones and routers, not desktops though.
Well, most of the southern hemisphere is water and although there are penguins in Antarctica they are not really all that into this internet thing...
Are you thinking of Safeway's 5 cheese lasagna? I think that is what they use to repair cracks in the Hoover Dam wall...
Hmm, Geeks don't play football, so I guess you were spared the STD...
The Monopoly board game seems to hold the patent on useless money. Chocolate coins would be more popular I would think.
Sooooo, if the Coelacanth had no change in the past 400 million years, how long did it take to evolve to point is at now?
No beavers, release the Canadian triple zero mosquitoes. Steven.
If Mick Jagger and his ex drive in a HOV lane they'll get fined: I'm so hot and she's so cold - cold like a tooooomb stone...
Pardon, eh? I saw the typo of 'ca.gov' and corrected it to 'gov.ca' and the next thing I knew the terminator kicked the door down, eh...
Because in vacuum water boils and bubbles all on its own.
