Slackware users are used to compiling everything by hand - having only rpm's avaliable is pretty common to them, so they won't care provided the source is to hand Debian users..well, somebody'll package it anyway within no time, and if they don't then again, we're all used to having only .rpm's avaliable and building from source. I honestly can't remember about suse and rpms, so I'm not going to go there. But deb and slack are the 2 really major distros which don't support rpms. Infact, a quick apt-cache search rpm seems to suggest there's a version of rpm for debian as well. Can't honestly think of any other major distro that doesn't support it. -- Gareth Ardron
