I found rpm to be easy and convenient for about one month...
After two years with it I can't bare with it any more. This is the
main reason for my own switch to Debian. I find slackwares tgz format
to be much more convenient and easy to use than rpm.
I'm not qualified to answer this question yet, but I think that
you will find more persons that are if you go to www.debian.org,
and subscribe to the mailing list: debian-user.
A warning is in place here: The Debian User Mailing list has a huge
throughput ( 300 articles a day per mimimum or so )
This question does however come up very often there, so I think you
will probably find more, and better answers by looking through the
mailing list archives at www.debian.org
I think though that the most difficult problem with switching from
RPM based to Debian is finding a good Debian CD retailer nearby.
kind regards, Daniel Mose
