I felt like I was in a dam interview, if I wanted a consultant, I would pay for 1, but I do not need 1, seeing is how I consult already on a range of things, even non software related, or hardware at times.. 

<Hawkwind> Zoo-: Why are you compiling things that are in RPM format already ?

because I can and I choose to. And its better for my system and optimized into my system, and I choose how to configure it for the environment.

<Hawkwind> Zoo-: Then why on earth are you using an RPM based distro ?

Because I choose to use it, and its not the only distribution I use, I will use it how i want to, and as for anything else.

<Hawkwind> Zoo-: Because I run an RPM based distro, so I stick with RPM's

my Response:
Well good for you, I am not saying I do not install any rpm's , I am just saying I love to do what I want with the system, and I don't need to take your advice about it, your not my distribution advisor,
