A serious difference between redhat 5.0's rpms and debian is that dselect tells you about
conflicts and dependencies *before* it connects to the FTP site (if that is the method
you're using) to download. rpm packages don't tell you about dependencies and conflicts
until *after* it's attempted to install. In my opinion, that makes the debian package
installer a lot easier to use.
