Well, now got the idea that work is being done very well in rpm distributions, so actually what I earlier asked, should not be asked. Anyways, I liked the rpm because at least all of my (noob's) work is smoothly done. Still I was curious only to know the people's view... Better/equal in the sense of the time it takes. Also, sometimes, when some (or more) unneeded packages reside in the system, even when they are not used but they rest in the hard-disk. Okay well, they don't take much capacity, so I let them sleep always. But this happens in rpm based distros which I came to know. >> ...or why did this bifurcation took place if the Linux is only the kernel...? > Because there are different distributions which all think that their > own package management system is most suited.

Exactly true. Its more like the analogy of cars. Some people prefer Ford, some Chevrolet, others like Mercedes-Benz better, but ultimately they all have an engine that runs on fuel. But I am happy with rpm now. I was a happy Fedora user and would eventually try it back, though currently running openSUSE 12.3 with the same happiness. I was even confused between the many distributions but came to understand the underneath strategy to install one and use it! I regret that I don't get much time to learn such a wonderful technology of Linux!! -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
