I've got a great opportunity to promote opensource at my job by

the other direction :-)
I'm sure others on this list have had the same challenge
But this is debian. Why not ask RH for a transistion guide? One
doesn't ask Microsoft for help transitioning to Debian.

I am sure that he really meant the other way, "a RHEL User's
introduction to Debian (and its far superior tools and ways)"
I hope. I really hope. But since he is is using RH, I am afraid not.

I'm a happy Debian user and will not move to RH. But. As I wrote in my
question, I'm _forced_ to use RHEL4 at my job.
Since more debianites will have been in this situation, I think it's not
inappropriate to ask on this list for pointers to a RH intro for Debian
users...

here are some handy rpm commands I use a lot
rpm -qa | grep package - see if the package is installed
rpm -q --whatprovides /path/to/file - what package owns this file
rpm --setperms package - fix permissions on that package
rpm -Va - verify all packages
rpm -Vp package - verify package
up2date -l > package.list - just so i can have a list of packages
available
up2date -i package - install a package
do this to rebuild the rpm database, cause you know it will get corruped
at some point:
cd /var/lib/rpm/
mkdir ~/rpm.db.bak
mv /var/lib/rpm/__db* ~/rpm.bak
rpm -vv --rebuilddb
