That closely mirrors my experience.
Mine too, but then I discovered Gentoo. It has its faults, especially the early versions, but nowadays, it's pretty good, and I don't, ever, want to go near an RPM-based system again. Sadly, most "corporates" use RH because it's "supported". That's a real shame because IMO it's just another symptom of "Microsoft Syndrome" and it precludes me from a lot of work I could do standing on my head.
Cheers, Laurie.
