I'm curious about what you mean. > I share Michel Talonīs mind in regards to "the ease of maintaining the software on the machine" but I find myself inclined to rpm ... thatīs why I use Mandriva on my notebooks/netbooks. RPM has come a really long way since itīs inception and has proven to be an incredible flexible tool to do the task itīs meant to do (I can write a single .spec file and create as many rpms out of a single tarball as I see it fits my needs, package granularity they call it... just take a look at the mandriva repos to see what I mean). In my personal experience I have found that creating, maintaining and handling rpm packages is a lot easier than creating ports or keeping the software up to date using packages.
