"" This FAQ doesn't answer the principal question: what key features are going to be in RPM that don't currently exist in deb/apt-get?? or cannot be added with a lesser efforts to deb?? ""

hmm ... better would be what misses in both, and or what can be improved in both.

well i remenber GoboLinux... its so damn easy that is hard to belive

But of course, many "commercial" apps already big on other environments, and that Linux would be needing to get a strong foot inside the workstation/desktop arena, arent going be be distributed in source code :(

But then again solutions appear like if by magic...

So, imho, what Linux need is a crossplatform installer capable of dealing with RPM and deb, and also capable of installing from source code... if only InstallJammer could implement that source code feature!... it would be perfect.
