United Linux: why MandrakeSoft will not join

[Net Llama!]

You *should* be able to.  That doesn't guarentee that you'll be able to. 
  You'll prolly still see all sorts of deps errors, but in many cases 
they can be safely ignored.

I guess I got so used to rolling my own RPM's since CheckInstall came out that I never thought to try anything else.  On the same note, I just recently was having troubles with my favorite Audio editor, Audacity, and when I followed the request of the developer to install their RPM's, everything worked.  I thought I got off easy, seeing as I had forgotten the goat and my sacrificial blade was extra dull anyway.  So you're saying that on COL311, I should be able to run most current RPM's?  Woo Hoo!  I thought Heaven was waiting for me to die!
