OK, this response is just ignorant.

So Slackware uses tarballs.  Inside the tarballs are binaries and
configuration files and more.  You get what you need.

RH (and derivatives) use .rpm files.  Inside the rpm file (basically a
relabelled cpio file) are binaries and configuration files and more.
You get what you need.

So, basically, any distro still distributing binaries is a dinosaur?

Lonnie, your mother should have taught you better manners.

Ciao,
