As to RPM - I've never had a problem with it.
Yeah, you're right, it works fine. The thing is that it's not nearly as elegent as apt (advanced package tool - the debian equiv.). As Andrew, Mark and I have said on several occasions, you know a system is good when you can do the equiv of going from redhat 5 to redhat 6 by typing 'apt-get dist-upgrade' and watching it go (including downloading the packages, replceing them, reconfiguring when necessary, restarting daemons etc).
Absolutely superb. Debian: it's a little more difficult to install, yes, but once you have, you'll *never* look back.
