This is an unfortunate out of the context quote. One of the advantages 
of Linux, vis-a-vis Windows, is that you can install multiple 
compilations of the same program locally, in lieu of or in addition to a 
system-wide version that is installed via RPM. Properly exploited, this 
can make system administration safer and much more convenient.

In case anyone is paying attention: (1) Has anyone routinely been doing 
converting RPMs to TARs? (2) Does anyone know how fast or slow user 
programs (such as Moz, OOo, KDE, etc) are updated in RHEL3?

The reason for Question (2) is that one of the key desktop application 
programs, Win4Lin, has not been upgraded to work with RHEL3. This has 
stopped me from considering RHEL3. wayne
