ROFL!  Hey, be nice :) Though, I atleast agree with the "RPM sucks" part of that...  Source is the way to go...  And it looks like Debian is the first distro
to successfully setup a BSD "ports-tree" like thing...  There package manager
will download the source, compile it, patch it, and install it...  Impressive
if you ask me, and it's just what Linux needs...  Now they just need a 
"build world" option :)
