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.

When you need to install an RPM package you don't use rpm, you use urpmi, up2date, apt-rpm, IRIS or whatever your distibution has.
Red Hat has up2date. We are talking about Red Hat. If you can't use up2date and an RPM package has dependancies, then you can download them from the same website where you got the package. If not then blame the packager! Is that to hard to understand? Windows packages don't have dependancies because they bundle everything together. RPM packages could do that too, but they don't do it to save download time and disk space.
Red Hat 8.0 will be probably to hard to use for clueless users. So what? Noone cares.
