The main reason I like RPMS is that they make it pretty easy to update
running systems, and to build similar systems.

We build a fair number or systems for customers, and I really want a
distribution that lends itself to easy system replication.  One of my
biggest complaints with Caldera was when they dropped their support for a
custom list of RPMS in addition to their canned distribution selections.
