I started with debian (potato) freaked out, moved to mandrake and now
I just moved back to debian last week, and I have to say that I miss
it very much.
I never had these RPM problems, just stick to using URPMI isntead of
plain old rpm (urpmi is like apt-get and rpm is like dpkg) and never
ever install rpms made for other distros, if you need packages not
found on your CDs just add a contrib source to urpmi or compile it
yourself, thats the trick.
you won't regret using mandrake but I'll expect you to be back to
debian sooner or later.
cheers,
Alaa
