Hi,

Good article for those new RedHat users about using RPM, Red Hat Package Manager.

That is a great article there! I would like to get one for the OMP, if you have enough experience with RPM package management JimH I would love to see an OM from ya! (hint,hint)....Although I do have to say that I like apt-get better, so far anyways....RPM's seem to be to easy to foul up, but maybe that is the user and not the RPM! ;D

Hint taken ;D

I e-mailed you a draft for a starting point. Let me know what you think.

RPMs are a snap, just make sure you get the right one for yer distro. I got my nvidia drivers for mandrake 8 installed in about 2 minutes with 'em.
