Thanks for correcting the mistakes about the versions - can happen<nobr> <wbr></nobr>:)
But about the rpm vs yum thing: My point is that it does not make sense to have a look at a pure rpm system - would anyone look at debian with just dpkg, without any apt? No one would even bother with such a point of view.
The same should be true for RPM: there is no bigger RPM distribution which just comes along with RPM and nothing else - they all come along with something else. So why should anyone bother with mentioning an artificial setup of a machine without anything comparable to apt/yum/whatever?
It is very, very dissappointing and frustrating to meet people which are comming from sowewhere around debian and have no idea what RPM is but compare it to apt and try to flame about a "RPM dependency hell" without even knowing what this means, where it comes from, why it can also be called deb dependency hell, and why it is only historical interesting.<nobr> <wbr></nobr>:(
