so did i. nevertheless, i don't know about redhat 7.x anymore, but
redhat 6.x couldn't even stick to file system standard.

dpkg et al. is 100 times superior to rpm and if it's only for the
introduction of "Suggests" or the fact that multiple packets (such as
sendmail and postfix) provide a mailer package. i started on redhat
and very soon had to do tarballs only because the RPM system broke too
quickly, or it was just not good enough. and yes, up2date is just
plain painful.
