During the majority of my time working with computers, Windows was the operating system of choice. Reason being, it's all I've known. In 2002, I took a college course titled "Linux Administration" which entitled me to a few cd-roms of Redhat 7.x. While this course was nothing more than a few extra credits for me, I fell in love with Linux and went through the entire textbook a week into the class. It was a nice feeling to use something "different" than what I was used to.

If you don't like any Linux distribution that use rpm, do not use it and ignore it. There are plenty other distro such as Gentoo that can build from sources. Bear in mind there will be some dependancies rpm or not. It becomes very annoying to deal with people who complain for nothing while they have choice.
