What is an rpm

RPM is for Red-Hat Package Manager.  It is for Red-Hat Linux.
An rpm file installs itself with one command, putting everything
in the correct place.  It is, if anything, even easier to use
than the comparable Windows install programs, and it is far
better than anything I've seen in (Sun) unix systems.  But you
need Red-Hat Linux (although I'm sure that you could install
it on other Linux systems).  Jon Baron
