I was simply trying to figure out where the .bin came from, which in turn came with a recommendation which I stand by that no one should be using anything but operating supported packages (in this case RPM, and assuming the package is available). I think it is also important to make a distinction that it is not a .Org distributed file, so "if" there is a problem we can point the user in the right direction to get help.
