man :) u really need to know how tar.gz package and dependency system work
on other systems before u say how good rpm is. it's nonsense to discuss
it with u when u obviously have no experience with pkg_add, pkg_del and
other package tools for .tar.gz packages. (hint: tar.gz packages can be
compiled already, and it _tells_ what other packages u need, what
dependent packages there are on a given package etc.).
