I personal don't like rpm never have from my first install of linux . I use slackware and make my own packages with checkinstall or makepkg . But even witht he rpms you can look in the darn package and see where everything got installed and remove it . M$ if the app doesn't have the unistall feature then its hard to find out how to get rid of it .
Most ppl don't bother to read on how to install or unistall they expect it to all be done for them by hand like a baby.
I never tought I could make packages<nobr> <wbr></nobr>,fix configs<nobr> <wbr></nobr>,recompile the kernel , and tons of other stuff as I can now . Thanks to linux I've learned more in the time of using it than I ever could have in the same time I used m$ .
Also the support is greater than any for m$ and cost is horendous for m$ . It amazing how great linux is with little driver support for hardware from the manf. There are a few user friendly versions for the newbie but even when ppl told me to first try redhat I liked slackware and found it easier . The great part of linux is there is a lot of distributions to try lots of chioces
