Re: Anti-Debian Discruimination (was: DEB vs RPM)
I read the article. It doesn't sound like bashing. I
have been bashed for using Linux and to paraphrase my
favorite debate line "that, senator is not bashing".
The upshot of the article is:
- We decided that RPM's are the defacto standard
- DEB's are more reliable, easier to update and
conform to a stricter policy making them more
reliable.
- Don't know if RPM's will follow this.
- A standard should follow this tighter set of rules.
Just sound like someone has an over-inflated view of
themselves.
