RPM Press Release
,----[ Quote ]
| After seven months of comprehensive
| development, the popular Unix software packaging tool RPM Package
| Manager (RPM) was released as stable version 5.0.0. The relaunch of the
| RPM project in spring 2007 and today's following availability of RPM 5
| marks a major milestone for the previously rather Linux-centric RPM. RPM
| now finally evolved into a fully cross-platform and reusable software
| packaging tool.

| record straight:
|
| Warning ahead: please note that I’m not gonna discuss Debian vs. Red Hat, but
| dpkg vs. RPM.
|
| RPM, combined with a good package manager such as Smart, is vastly superior
| to the competition...
