I suppose that I need to pay better attention -- most of my stuff just
works.  Including my WiFi (which I have never seen happen until I tried
this).  In any case, I will never use an RPM-based distribution again;
RPM is burdened with issues.  I recently saw someone using an RPM based
distribution, it told them it was time to upgrade, and an hour later it
finally finished calculating dependencies -- and it was missing one.

No, thanks.  I'll take no packages at all before I will take RPMs ever
again.  It is a shame, IMHO, that LSB made RPM the standard, and not
DEB/dpkg.
