why use an RPM, when all you have to do is to unzip the binary distribution, and boom it is installed and the files are in a controlled structure, you can add the daemon scripts yourself

So, I'm looking for Tomcat 4.1.27 for Linux, and I don't see that available here: http://jakarta.apache.org/site/binindex.cgi However, in searching around, I found this, and I'm wondering if this is the right thing for me to be using: http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/suse/9.0/i386/suse/i586/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.27-63.i586.html I've heard about RPM only in the last day or so when looking around for utilities for Linux. I'll probably want the RPM version for Tomcat, right? This page talks about RPM: http://www.rpm.org/ But I'm wondering if it comes with Red Hat 8 (I can't tell yet--my boss is installing Red Hat across town and I'm just doing my homework so I'm ready to roll when he's done with all the things he has to do on his end).
