I left RH long ago, when I was far less knowledgable. I was more
successful at install than you, but never felt I had any chance of
gaining control of my computer within the RH environment. I have no
desire to go back. So, out of curiosity, what is RPM dependency hell?
I'm not interested enough to find out for myself. It sort of sounds like
'what does it feel like to hit your thumb really hard with a hammer?'
i.e. the sort of question for which direct personal knowledge is best
avoided. So, what is it?
