I learned in the pre-RPM days.  When possible, I avoid RPMs because I =
prefer
to set things up my own way.  This is a very poor analogy, but in my =
mind,
using an RPM is a lot like using Windows....it might work, you can see =
it
work, but you don't really know HOW its working.  While I realize that =
you
can inspect an RPM and determine what it does exactly when it installs, =
the
truth is the vast majority of people never do that...they blindly =
install
the RPM and move on.  I prefer to do things myself when possible, =
that's
all.  I'm not saying I never use RPMs, just that for things that are
critical services (like a web server), I prefer to install them myself.
I'll gladly use RPMs for things like XWindows, various libraries, minor
utilities, etc. but for major "public" applications I try to install =
them
manually.

Please do not take my comments as being critical of anyone who creates,
maintains, or uses RPMs.  That is not the case, quite the opposite.  As =
I
said, I use them...system administration would be chaos without some =
sort of
package management system.  There are just certain scenarios where I =
prefer
to do things the "hard" way, so to speak.
