I personally feel its really up to the specific person, some people like
installing from source, and some like installing from rpm. I personally like
installing from source,

Well, it is a matter of personal preference, IMO rpm is inferior to for example
FreeBSD portsystem as I have expressed before on a few occassions,
The ports system downloads, compiles, satisfies dependencies and installs
all with the command make install
apt-get ;-) ! I think personally apt-get is miles ahead of the port
system on freebsd.

And I think the other way around, apt-get is great, way better then RPM, but still you
can end up in dependcy hell
I have never once had a problem with apt-get and dependencies. apt-get
install packagename and i have _never_ had a problem :p I had huge issues
with the port system though when for example installing exim :\ Source
compiling came into play ;-)

Yup I do have to agree with you on that point. But then again when I need to
upgrade minor packages I usually do it from source, but as i always say,
everybody to their own.

For a newbie RPM for sure.
That way you will not have to post when compiling does not work.
Seriously. While compiling from source can be fun. There is a down side.

Guess it depends on how much pain you want to go through or how good you
are as a linux gru. For myself its rpm by a long shot.

If you're a noobie, RPM.
If you're a wacko, sicko geek, source.

Well I have to say in reply to Stephan, I have to be a sick, whacko ;-)
because I detest compiling packages from rpm. I would prefer in that case
to get a source rpm and recompile it for my specific or the specific
computer. Thats why I use source packages, I only really use things like

It depends (no pun intended) on a number of things, such as your level
of expertise, the amount of time you have, whether you are installing a
package designed for the distro and version you are using and so on.
