With debian, the files come to you whereas the old rpm system required you
to find packages and fix things yourself.
And isn't it just better this way? Thanks goes to all the hard working package mantainers! :)
One of the beauties of open source:

Looks like some nice folks ported APT to RPM based distros. I guess it gives those people who insist on RPM based distros a small bit of relief :-)
