Re:RPM = RPM Package Manager

Actually... the name changed.

It *used* to be the Redhat Package Manager. But then other distros started using it too, and it became more of a standard. RedHat decided to rename it to "RPM Package Manager", which is a much better name for a format which you want to make standard accross Linux.

Cheers,
Daniel.
