You are talking about a computer. Nothing "just works". Not even
Windows. As soon as you start doing something differnt than the Standard
Thing, you may run into problems. Deal with them.
That said, some things work better than others. In some ways, apt-get
works better than rpm. Or rather, does more for you. For example,
apt-get will fetch any needed dependencys, as will Gentoo's "emerge",
whereas rpm will simmply inform you what you need. Depending on your
viewpoint, the latter may be more desirable. But all of them will barf
when the dependencys are tangled up. If you want proof, try loading the
lastest copy of "gnumeric" from Etch or Sid. The dependencys are
Temporarily Broken.
