Red Hat Just a few weeks after the beta release of the next version of their Linux based OS, Red Hat has released 7.3.93 of their software, once again, code-named Limbo. Those of you who read my first Limbo review know that I gave it a favorable review. After downloading and installing the second beta, I had to take a few days before writing this article.

RPM FUD

Stop spreading RPM FUD. RPMs are very easy to install with the right tools. As easy as debs or windows programs. I don't know about up2date on Red Hat. But urpmi on Mandrake and apt-rpm on Connectiva are as easy to use as apt-get on Debian.

Installation of software on these Distros is a no brainer no matter if they use RPM or deb packages.

Stop trolling finally.

I have just used urpmi to install xmms, SDL and OCaml. All dependancies were resolved automatically. Just don't use rpmdrake, the GUI installation tool. It sucks (both new and old)!
