Re: Why some say "rpm hell"

[Steven Rosenberg <stevenhrosenberg@xxxxxxxxx>]

Whenever you go "outside" the distribution and start picking up packages, be they .deb or .rpm, you invite trouble with dependencies, especially if those packages are not built for your particular release.

Both Fedora and Debian/Ubuntu have very large repositories, and for Fedora, RPM Fusion is very reliable for those bits that don't come with the distribution itself, so I never experience "dependency hell."

I think "g" was trying to make peace and you may have misunderstood
his comments.  Please, let's be polite to each other and not
insulting.
