But, you can install some things from rpm files if you want to, if you happened to have found something precompiled, for another distro, that you wanted. If you wanted to use precompiled packages, I'd say that Fedora and Ubuntu are probably your best bet for having lots of things available for you. > I got a habit with the RH-ones since their 5-6 versions.

Do you really want all that's on offer, though? It may just seem better because there's a large number of packages available, but if all the core things that you want to use are there, that's the important thing. -- [tim@bigblack ~]$ uname -ipr 2.6.22.9-91.fc7 i686 i386 Using FC 4, 5, 6 & 7, plus CentOS 5.
