only thing i hate about mandriva is its rpm based packages<br>
i prefer apt and deb personally<br>
</blockquote></div><br><div>Hi all.</div><div><br></div><div>I use several distros, sombe rpm-based, some deb-based.</div><div><br></div><div>IMHO, there's no real difference between both package types. All troubles i've found on rpm packages are exactly the same i've found on .deb ones. And all are for the same reason: The package has some error on their build process (bad dependences, outdated versions of them...)</div>
<div><br></div><div>So, i see no objective reason to change rpm-packaging system. But we must be carefully until paranoia when we're building them. A well-done build rpm package works as smooth and clean than a well-done build .deb one.</div>
<div><br></div><div>If you're looking some other aspects (i.e. performance of the package manager) there's no sensible difference for a normal user between both package types. You can find urpmi slower than apt-get, or viceversa. I've found opposite opinions about this ever among my colleagues. This leads to me that i'ts a subjective (or particular system-dependant) estimation.</div>
