apolyton.net/forums/showt...adid=86177As said on that thread... I won't be around until Monday to read the replies... "I believe they just installed Gentoo Linux."

Yeah.. Red Hat has some things to fix and clean up... Raynor M'JiliadKaiser of Shireroth

What an exceedingly cute answer, considering that RH is one of the most hated distros, and considered very broken :)... but... I guess that if you have really never been in depencency hell, it's fine for you... but I can't remember if you *have*... "I believe they just installed Gentoo Linux."

I don't think I have.. I think I found a way around the hard way of dealing this dependancies... Just can't recall.. Raynor M'JiliadKaiser of Shireroth

[Ari Rahikkala]

Weell... things *should* work pretty well *if* you use only official RedHat RPMs... but still, it's a lot more trouble than with a real package management system. "I believe they just installed Gentoo Linux."

[Kaiser Raynor X]

So.. why don't they fix it? Raynor M'JiliadKaiser of Shireroth

[Ari Rahikkala]

*shrug*Probably because it's too damn hard to fix RPM. It wasn't designed for distributing packages and managing dependencies online. They'd probably have to break backwards compatibility again to fix it... "I believe they just installed Gentoo Linux."
