RPM, as a packaging format has no significant advantages or disadvantages over 
DEB (except that RPMs are in general more widely available and that RPM has 
been adopted as the standard packaging format for the LSB).

As far as the packiaging software is concerned, of course "apt-get" is more 
advanced than "rpm"... but you shouldn't try to compare them. Instead compare 
"dpkg" with "rpm" and you'll see that "rpm" compares favourably.

Compare "apt-get" with "apt-rpm" or Mandrake's "urpmi" and you'll see that RPM 
is not as behind as a lot of people claim.

Sorry.  I forget what I was going to say.
