Re:Package Management (Score 1)

careful with that. if you actually care about the integrity of your binaries (wherever they reside) use something like tripwire, never trust rpm. dpkg is superior for package management anyways. your package manager is responsible for keeping depencies in shape. assuring file-integrity on your box exceeds the capabilities of any package managment system available todate. nevertheless i agree with you (and some other posters) regarding the initial topic.
