I dont even use it anymore.

After working in IT for a while, you learn that quite often you *have* to 
make some sacrifices and compromises to get the job done.  If you dont like 
it, stay at home. 

The only semi-official standards base has declared RPM to be the 'linux 
standard'. Debian will never switch, declaring that apt is better. Everyone 
here knows that it is, but bad luck. I think standards compliance is more 
important than technological grandstanding. Therefore, in my book, Debian 
lost.
