nods, i know it doesnt. The RPM comment was slightly unrelated. I just really, really hate RPMs and will not go back to them.
I have been thinking about using Gentoo on a server, for the main reason of emerge. Make it so it automatically updates itself and basically runs so I can leave it in a closet somewhere.. but for my day to day use of computers I prefer slackware.. I prefer to do the tarballs myself. Just preference.
